I've heard that painting metallic chrome over a black base gives the best results. What is the best way to accomplish this? Do I use a gloss or flat black?
Ok, when you said you had a can of Rusto silver metallic I thought it was the Stops Rust brand.I have a can of this that I've had decent results with in the past, but is still subject to dulling after a while.
Never tried that one. Says "Interior use" ?
I do have a few cans of this as well, but it doesn't have the same "pop" as the Bright Coat Chrome. I will say that the Bright Coat isn't easy to use. I always seem to get drips and runs no matter how careful I am with it.Ok, when you said you had a can of Rusto silver metallic I thought it was the Stops Rust brand.

If it doesn't mention the instruction that I quoted on the label about clear coating then feel free to ignore my post.![]()
Nothing's gonna pop like chrome. So, you've used this Bright Coat Chrome ? On a rocket ? Did it perform differently than Micro and others have described ?I do have a few cans of this as well, but it doesn't have the same "pop" as the Bright Coat Chrome.

You're right! It would look cool. The moment that they catch the sunlight going up or going down would likely be a pretty nice flash.I looked into "spray on chrome" in the past. I never got around to buying/trying it. I thought an entirely chrome rocket would be cool.
