Looking for a chrome paint

[itsadaytona]

Ive been using Model Master Silver Chrome Trim paint to detail the trim parts on my cars, but I dont think its shiny enough. Any siggestions on a better more shiney paint to use?

Bare metal foil for trim and body parts. For larger items like rims, exhaust, engine parts, etc. Alclad II chrome through an airbrush. Here's a Cobra I recently finished. I used the Alclad II Chrome on the wheels and side exhaust.

I don't airbrush, so Alclad is not an option for me....that being said, I've had very good results so far with SpazzStix rattle cans. It's a little spendy, and only one local shop carries it, but IMO it's good stuff to try.

[itsadaytona]

Yeah, I dont airbrush either. So Ill give that stuff a try. Thanks

I'll add another vote for Spaztix spray. I get as good of result as I do with Alclad II with less clean-up.

Alclad chrome comes in spray cans too.

i heard the alclad can't be handled at all, as it will rub right out

The Spazstix holds up pretty well to handling, I would'nt rub real hard but it will hold up to some handling.

alclad will rub away but that should not effect most peices like valve covers . The bumpers you have to worry about, but you should not be picking model cars up by the bumpers anyhow. I pick them up by the roof usually as I use bare metal foil for that chrome trim piece and it wont rub off.
