prime chrome

[glockexe]

Just started looking at my 57 chevy and noticed some of the chrome parts need to be painted silver, primer, yes or no, another quick question, if your going to use tamiya paint on the body, can you use krylon primer, once again thanks

Since you're using Tamiya paint why not use their primer also ? Not sure which '57 Chevy kit you're building but the only trim part you might need to paint would be the rear side panels and they are polished aluminum.

If I had something that was plated and wanted to paint it, I would strip the chrome from it with Bleach, then prime and paint as usual.... DupliColor makes a really good sandable primer that comes in a rather large can that will work just fine with the Tamiya paints....... DupliColor products can be found at your local O'Rielly's or Advance Auto.....
