It's a powder that simulates chrome. It's applied rubbing it with a cloth or cotton to the model.

I followed this gt-r submarine, she is really beautiful

I am I even trying to realize a chrome mercedes dtm with MGM powder. could you detail steps of polishing (or other products)? and I do not think the bodywork or paint, do you think the chrome hold over time?

Again, congratulations for this achievement.

sorry for my english, I'm french

I'll post the link to my setup if that interest you

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:

thank you for your response.

I did it myself the test for laying decal on the powder, after much failure, I found a solution, I dipped the decal in the water like a normal, then put the decal with its support on a paper towel for about thirty seconds to mop up the remaining water then I landed on the carro, no trace reaction on chromium.
