What is better (more realism) chrome alclad or chrome tamiya's chasis?

Thank's!!!

If you mean the pre-chromed frames versus alclad chrome I'd say...alclad polished aluminum. Tamiya has gotten better when it comes to recreating the aluminum parts, on earlier machines they tended to look too plastic. I would say alclad chrome would be too shiny (if we're talking racebikes) and as said I would recomend the polished aluminum instead. For vintage bikes and moded HD's I'd say alclad chrome though.

Thank's Joel!!

And to painting the pre-chromed frames which is the best painting to paint it? (mark and paint code)

Hmm don't really get you know...do you mean wich paints to use if you want to paint on top of the chrome plating? In that case I would say to use any range of acrylics. I use Tamiya myself. Post another message if I didn't get you right...wich I am afraid I didn't...
