Liquid chrome is actually better in terms of natural metal finish than many model paints. I really like it, because it's easily applicable and can be cleaned relatively easily with lacquer thinner. The finish is shiny and durable. It's great to work with but sometimes the liquid chrome can dry on the tip. The marker tip doesn't leave strokes either and the marker itself easier to control. I've used it to paint fine details such as wiring in wheel bays and ejection seat belt buckles.
Closest thing to real chrome. Great for details of any kind. Instrument details. Touch up chrome parts at sprue attach points. Gotta have this stuff. Use once and you're hooked. Wipe tip with lacquer thinner to clean a dry tip. Contains about 1/3 oz. Can be taken apart to clean & refill. Dries very fast. Don't take it apart untill refilling (dries too fast)

This is a very good alternative to using bare metal foil it has a very fine tip so it's very easy to use on small areas and somewhere that bare metal foil cannot go I have also use mine to fix chrome parts that the Chrome is busted when you break it from the sprue I just think this is a very good product it's something I use a lot more than I thought I would very much looks like real Chrome so I recommend this to everyone who want something to use other than BMf I use both but I think the more useful tools you have the better finish youi get on your model projects..BM

I recommend practicing on some extra sprue plastic before using in a model. This 1mm can put out too much paint if not careful when loading. Once you have the feel, you'll get beautiful results. Pretty much self leveling so don't keep fussing over it, put it on and leave it alone.
