is there such thing as chrome spray ? really would like to buy 1.. to spray my rims etc.. any online stores have it on sale or otherwise ? many thanks in advance

i use a can i bought a couple of years ago. it's not mirror like, but it's reflective.

you could probably get a can at an auto shop, it's used for painting hubcaps. but if they let you, test it first.

[Alvindj]

neh.. not asking for a mirror like finsh just reflective or resembles chrome like will do hmm.. a little hard to find.. but theres a solution i got from ma friend which consist of mixing paints and airbrushing.. which i dont own 1

Try Alcad II paints. They do a variety of ultra-realistic metal finishes (chrome, aluminium etc)

You also need to buy the Base Gloss Black (also from Alcad). I've bought them but not tried them out just yet. But I bought them after advice from this site. But they are extremely toxic (can cause cancer apparently) so make sure you wear a proper Respirator when applying it, and leave it drying somewhere other than your living room!!

ummms.. sounds pretty hazardous hmm guess i'll go for other alternatives like can spray perhaps?

anyhow i doubt i can find Alcad II paints easily in ma country

Yep, pretty hazardous but impressive finish. Infact, most areas of modellling is hazardous (all the glue fumes, paint fumes will do you harm unless you protect yourself). As long as you use the Respirator you'll be fine.

Anyway, check the web to see if there's any stockists of it in your country. I believe it is American, so was quite surprised to find it stocked in the UK.

PS. The funny thing is, the bottle only states the cancer warning for California!!! Wot's so different with California? I'd still use the Respirator anyway!!

duud ! the price is way too steep man !

[mike@af]

The most inexpensive stuff is probably Alclad II it needs to be airbrushed as the cans are hard to find.

If you used the search you would find all sorts of answers.
