Chrome Paint for Airbrushed Models in 50 ml Bottles, Applied in Thin Layers over a Reflective Base
Chrome paint gives airbrushed models a glossy, reflective metal look when applied over a smooth, reflective base. Guazi Studi supplies 50 ml per bottle, making it easy to work in thin layers and build the finish gradually.
Choose an individual shade or a coordinated color set. The three-color set contains Red, Blue and Silvery; the five-color set adds Purple and Copper Gold; the eight-color set also includes Green, Black and Gold. For the mirror effect, apply Silvery MT.01 or a gloss-black base before the transparent color, then finish with gloss varnish.

How do I create the mirror-chrome effect on a model?
Apply this paint over a smooth, reflective base to develop the mirror-chrome appearance. Use Silvery MT.01 or a gloss-black base first, apply the transparent color over it, and finish with gloss varnish for protection and added shine.

The three-color set contains Red, Blue and Silvery, with 50 ml per bottle. The five-color set adds Purple and Copper Gold, while the eight-color set also adds Green, Black and Gold.
Can I panel-line or apply a wash over the painted finish?
Seal this painted finish with varnish before panel lining or applying a wash. The varnish layer protects the surface during those finishing steps.
How long should I let this model paint cure?
Let this model paint cure for about 10–30 minutes at 68 °F / 20 °C. Apply several thin layers using light sweeping passes as directed.
