My Favorite brushed-on metal finish.
By: mike
This particular paint mixture is a great simulation of chrome finish, great for tailpipe tips fixing minor defects in chrome plated parts (like from disconnecting them from their trees). While not a perfect match for the chrome finish on the plated parts, it is the closest I have found that may be brushed on. This particular paint is great for details like mirror components, antennas, undercarriage and engine components. It can be used with other metal finishes to make the undercarriage of a car have more variety of color to it, without much effort on your part. Just permit slightly longer for this paint to dry compared to other finishes out there, as it does tend to take slightly longer than other metal finishes from the same company.
Best enamel brush on 'chrome' paint.

The other reviews were pretty much on point. It led me to purchase the paint. It comes close to matching the plated parts in 1/25 scale auto modeling. But it did dry relatively quick unlike another reviewer's experience. It may not give results like foil, but for many parts foil is not worth the effort. A good example - exhaust tips already mentioned. And it does a decent job of covering the sprue points.
Model Master Chrome Silver
I've used nothing but Model Master Chrome Silver on all the chrome engine and car parts for years. I find that the Enamel covers better and quicker than the Acrylic. Clean up is easy with a good paint thinner. Just stir it up good with a toothpick when you first start. Highly recommended.
Great paint but takes a long time to dry
This paint looks really good when it goes on. But after you paint a piece DON'T TOUCH IT for at least a day. Else you'll be putting nice finger prints or marks in the surface. Once it dried though it looks really good. Just exorcise a little patience.
paint review
This is a very good paint for painting plastic scale model cars. I use it in an airbrush and I mix it in a 2 bottles of paint to 1 bottle of cheap laquer thinner and it covers well and gives a nice smooth finish.
Really Wouldn't Call It Chrome Exactly!!!
Doing a side by side comparison with Testors silver I really could not tell any difference at all. Basically it just comes down to which one you prefer as they're both quality paints.
Pleased
Model Masters never disappoints me when using. They always remain constant when left in storage for a long time.The flow rate is always there, just remember to shake jar well before use.
Best chrome paint
This Model Master is one of the best from all chrome like paints I've ever used. It's not a 100% chrome for sure, but for touch-up for chrome parts it's the best one so far.
Yes sir

I agree with the other reviews on this paint. I like to use it over flat black on exhaust headers , it gives it a ceramic coating look that I really like. Let it dry!

Model master paint, thin and easy to,use. Flows well. Thins well and keeps its luster.
Cleans up with thinner.
The shine on the chrome is excellent and uniform.

good product, the closest thing I have found to chrome brush paint. will lose its shine as the bottle gets old. Even after lots of shaking dosent seem to come back.
best bang for your buck
By: Felgenhauer98
This is the only stuff i buy for brush painting. Its got excellent coverage and its not blotchy. Gives you the best bang for your buck if you do a lot of modeling.
pretty good, usefull for 40k models.
don't let the small size fool you, there's more then enough to get the job done, though i will recommend you grab 2 just in case.
Great shiny silver
By: nathans138
I was running out of my old MM chrome silver. This is identical to the old one - very smooth. No big metal flakes, just chrome shine.
M.M. Chrome Silver
Almost chrome! I touched up sprue marks and sanded molding dots easily with no problem. Takes a while to dry though. Good product.

This is just what I was looking for so that I can complete the fire engine from a kit that I ordered from you
Good Match for Chrome
This is about the closest you can get to real chrome objects. Flow was good with no issues.
Great product.
