Reviews

The reviews highlight that this paint is highly regarded for its close simulation of a chrome finish, making it ideal for touch-ups and detailing on model parts like exhaust tips and engine components. Many users appreciate its smooth application and coverage, whether brushed or airbrushed, though opinions vary on drying time, with some noting it takes longer to dry and requires patience to avoid marks. While not a perfect match for real chrome, it is consistently praised for being one of the best options available for modeling purposes.

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.
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.
Good Match for Chrome
This is about the closest you can get to real chrome objects. Flow was good with no issues.
