    Sorry I have so many questions but anyway, I’m curious as to if you can get the same result of chrome if you use an air propellant can instead of a compressor with an air brush. The gold in this uh post is the color I’d like to reach http://www.mvpfigure.com/gundam-model-tutorial/airbrush-tutorial-how-to-create-mirror-chrome-effect-by-nanxnei-studio/

      No problem for the many questions, but please look around in this group first.
      It’s handled just a few posts down. To be exact, one post further down than your post over Tamiya cement….
      Anyways, I recommended Dupli-Color in that post. I saw a review on YouTube on it and it looks great. If this shouldn’t be available to you, search the kind that are and check out YT if there are some reviews on it. The problem with chrome paint is that most spray cans don’t look chrome for some reason 🙁 Most times it looks like silver. And even with silver you can get a good result. If you can’t find a good spray can, you could use a buffable enamel. Used in the past for making gold, and it looked great in my opinion. For more information, please read the sections posted by KrazJ 1 day and 10 hours ago (at the time of this posting). Should answer some more questions you might have. If it doesn’t than feel free to post them. Sorry if I offended you in any way, but to get more and quicker answers, please try not to be too repetitive. Hope this helps you out. Happy building
