Rinus and me used Alclad II but without puting gloss black color as primer so we didn't get perfect chrome color, but we wanted that.

I use Testors aluminium until now. I've purchased the Alclad recently, so I'll be using this in the future.

I'd ‘a thunk that Alclad II chrome would be a bit too shiny. Maybe Polished Aluminium instead?

Hi all,
many thanks for all reply and advice.
Like phil, i think AlcladII chrome is too shiny, and i was thinking of Polished Aluminium instead.
But i will try zeljko solution on a spare part to see what it looks like.

cheers
