Good chrome paint
 
I'm trying to find the best result of a chrome paint I can. What is one that can actually produce a clear mirror finish or close to it? It will be on wheels so plastic paint.

I saw MirraChrome as an option. Also, Alsa paint... but it is by no means cheap. $129 for a chrome spray kit. http://www.alsacorp.com/products/kil...llerchrome.htm

The RCS brand chrome I'm selling(see sig line) is a great high quality chrome. But I would not recomend painting wheels any color much less chrome.

I've tried all of the ones for airbrushing and they all dont look like chrome to me. The best "mirror finish" chrome look is spazstix in the can.

This seems to be recommended across other forums that I had checked as well.

I've used both Spaz and RCS and I have to say that RCS out does Spaz when done properly. Like Chris said, I wouldn't recommend chrome on anything on the outside. It's hard enough to keep it looking good when its on the inside.

I agree RCS chrome is the best available.It seems less is more when it comes to the chrome.I only apply two coats any more and it starts to lose it's reflectiveness.

Nothing beats Spray On Chrome for realistic chrome looks on plastics...
