Some good chrome paint!

[ratdat]

I tried out this "chrome" paint by Plasti-kote called "Odds 'n' Ends" and was suprised to find it was actually quite good. Check the pic below. The can is standing on a surface painted with the paint..look at the reflection! Not bad



I painted a coupe of brake rotors with it to try it out and it looks pretty good. The only problem with it is that the nozzle on the spray can produced a rather coarse spray. If you could spray it out into a jar and put it through an airbrush I'm sure it would be even better

Here in the UK it's sold in virtually every home improvement or DIY store as well as many super markets. The company is based in Medina, OH so it's available that side of the Atlantic too.

Try THIS LINK , it goes to a page where you can search for a dealer, or just go to Plasti-Kote's website

Incidentally, I just tried their flat black spray enamel paint ..it's very good...completely matt finish There's a mettalic blue that's so sparkly, it would pass for metalflake on a kit too

Ive used that before.. looks good. I never even warmed it or cleaned the parts i was painting, since i was a newb to modeling when i used it, and it was still very smooth

They're available at my local Wal Mart, and probably at your's too!
