Acrylic Chrome.

Does any company make a Chrome Acrylic Paint?                                                                              Mike

Molotow is an alcohol based acrylic chrome paint.

Molotow is an ink.

Vallejo does - I posted some photos of my first attempts at using it here:

I tried shooting it like Alclad (misting it on gently), and that KINDA worked, but I've since discovered that shooting it nice and wet over a gloss enamel base gives a much better chrome look..

Semantics. For those who wish to blindly adhere to what the marketing department put on the label, then ok, it's an ink. Otherwise, it's an alcohol based acrylic paint.

All LIQUID CHROME™ markers are filled with the unique LIQUID CHROME™ ink. The highly pigmented special ink has an unreached mirror effect on the marker market and is limited scratch- and abrasion-proof.

So what exactly is the difference between ink and paint?

I'd say that it's VERY "limited scratch and abrasion proof".
