BlackSheep214 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Why not use Molotow chrome pens? They come in 3 different tip sizes. Edited January 6, 2021 by BlackSheep214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Because I prefer the durability and the "real chrome-like" shine of vacuum metalizing. I do use silver/chrome paint markers (like Molotow) to touch up the sprue gate blemish on the chromy parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molotow's durability is highly questionable and I've heard all too many stories of it losing it's chrome like luster over time. Not to mention that even light handling will damage the finish. I don't even use it for small parts anymore, preferring Alclad's equal finish and better durability. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
