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.

This chrome ink is the best chrome I have used. I still use foil, but this does even the largest areas with no problem. This refill ink can be sprayed thru your airbrush. It does not require any thinning since it is ink. Clean up is easy, just use non-acetone (pink) finger polish remover.
"Very convincing chrome effect"

I bought the refill so I could apply the chrome using a paintbrush, and it works very well this way. Please note, when I applied this over fully cured Tamiya paint, it reactivated the Tamiya paint, which started to mix into the chrome. I recommend laying down some non-Tamiya clear before applying the chrome, like some Future / Pledge. In my experience so far, the chrome seems to work best over bare plastic.
