With the base enamel coat cured, I took the opportunity to lay down the base coats of chrome on most parts that with not have overcoats and on parts where the base coats will have to be masked before moving to overcoats.
For the frame parts I am using Alclad II Black Chrome, and for the standard armor I am using Alclad II Chrome.
When applying Chrome it will initially lay down with a very shiny yet still somewhat grainy or dulled finish, so to achieve the smooth vac-plated/mirror-like finish on the Chrome-painted parts I simply buffed [gently wiped] them with a q-tip. The polished finish is so good you can actually make me out in the head and one of the hips!
