Tips to achieve gold "chrome"?

Post by Brandon G »

Spaz Stix used to make both a gold and a chrome specifically for lexan bodies. Seems they have discontinued making both. :?

Does anybody here know of a good paint that will give the effect of shiny (chrome like) gold for a lexan body? Not your typical metallic gold like Pactra and Faskolor make.

Sorry I forgot, clear (candy) yellow/orange before the chrome and you are good to go.
