Jon Haigwood Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 I have been pondering on having a Copper or Gold finish on the chrome parts of a deuce build . I would like it to have the chrome look but be in copper or gold on the windshield, wheels and all the parts that are normally chrome. Most parts will be chrome to start with but some will be bare plastic (windshield frame). Maybe some type of transparent paint over the chrome ? I did not find anything in a search thought I would ask the experienced for suggestions. Thanks This is what I am looking for:
SCRWDRVR Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) I’ve gotten a similar effect using colored sharpies over chrome, try it out on some chrome trees to see if you like it Edited July 23, 2019 by SCRWDRVR
StevenGuthmiller Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Alclad II carries a "pale gold" and a "copper" paint. I don't know how close to a chrome like finish you could achieve with them, but it might be as close as you will get without actual plating. Steve
John Pol Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Go with ever AK extreme metal paint whitch is premix for airbrush and more durable than alclad Auto air also has chrome and gold that works good I have used alclad in the pass and it rubs off to easy Edited July 24, 2019 by John Pol
BigTallDad Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Also consider a brass color...a bit lighter than copper/gold, but (depending on the color of paint) might be a better contrast.
