• My result with Revell Chrome Spray...PIC.... *PIC*
  • It looks good! *NM*
    • Thanks ! *NM*
  • Nice! Will it hold up to handling? Also, where did you get the 4 spoke Cragars? Thx *NM*
    • I sat them in my window sill , where it caught the sun from 1-5 pm for several days.. I let the blue enamel dry for about a week. The chrome seemed to had fully cured in about three days. The base resin wheels were from Scenes Unlimited but I believe they are gone now ? *NM*
  • Billy, if I email you OTB, can you tell me the source, please? *NM*
    • Unfortunately I have no useful information . I bought it months ago at a local hobby shop on a whim , it was the only can . I have not found any since . The big on line store had some , but postage was near triple digits .I tried direct , but seems it can't be shipped to USA *NM*
      • Do you have a picture of the can you used ??? *NM*
  • Cool deal Billy, thanks for sharing! I think the blue first is smart because a lot show chrome has a bluish hue to it! *NM*
    • Thanks Jacky ! I read an article once stating exactly what you said. A gloss blue base coat followed by the chrome overcoat will appear better than over gloss black . I have tried both and prefer blue. *NM*
      • I've tried it over a lot of stuff over the weekend and find no difference. It doesn't need it, Extra paint just obscures details. *NM*
      • Gregg at MCM suggested blue some time back. Here's Tamiya Bright Blue & Gloss Black with Spaz Stix spray chrome over both.
        • Looks like polished aluminum though. Nothing seems to match chrome vacuum plating. *NM*
