OK, I'm not sure about this one- yet.

You'll want to check out their paint, specifically their chrome finish paints.

They have stuff like chrome, mirror chrome, gold tones, copper, etc.
For both airbrush and regular brush painting.

This paint is alcohol based acrylic, but unlike chrome inks like Molotow, this stuff will cure and be as durable as regular acrylic paints.

Unless you've already tried it (and PLEASE sing out if you have!), you're probably thinking the same as me. "No way! It sounds too good to be true!"

GSW is located in Spain, so shipping for most of us might be a bear BUT their prices are very tempting. A bottle (think the small squeeze bottles like AK uses) of brush-on mirror chrome runs about $4 (US).

Its also available on EBay if you're nervous about ordering direct.

IF this works as advertised, it would be a game changer.

-Model cars and trucks. Everything from realistic mirrors and wheels to chrome ... well, anything.

-Aircraft. Landing gear struts, landing and nav lights, etc.

-Armor. Hydraulic cylinders, headlight buckets, etc.

-Figures (pay attention, Eich!). Remember they also have polished brass and bronze. You can also "cool down" the chrome effect by over-coating with gloss or matte clear.

So, I'm going to place an order just to play around with this stuff. A gloss black undercoat might work best but I'm interested to see what this stuff does over gloss, satin matte, and even full matte colors like white or gray.
