Thanks for your comment!
MGM powder and Kosutte are the same thing. Painting was normal: primer, black, clear coat and polishing. After it was finish, I rubbed the chrome powder. The chrome is very delicate, if you touch with your finger you will have fingerprints in the model. This chrome can be removed with water, if you apply waterslide decals you'll let marks on the model.
I did a lot of tests trying to find a way to clear coat the chrome powder, but got no success.
You can see some of my tests here:

To protect the chrome, I store my models in display cases:
