Who makes the best chrome paint?

Tools, Techniques, and Reference Materials Painting and airbrushing

I’m new to modeling, so I’m having the inevitable trouble with chrome chipping off the parts. I’m looking for a good chrome paint. I was in Target with my wife and saw a bottle of chrome nail polish for around $5. It looked pretty close to the real thing. Of course, I know you can’t get the real polish of chrome from a bottle. But I was hoping someone out there had done the research and could recommend something.

Thanks

Try Alclad chrome. It’s the best I’ve ever used. If you put it on over a gloss black base, it looks very realistic. Have a look at www.alclad2.com for examples of it. You’ll need an airbrush to put it on.

I recommend Alclad as well… great stuff and easy to apply! Wierd… I just read on their site that you can use Future for a primer… gonna have to try that on the next kit I do with it!

I like using Model Master enamals Chrome Silver for things like mirrors… its a fairly bright color… and not one of the model master metalizers that tend to rub off sometimes…
