Hello all
Recently bought a Hal 9000 base plate kit. Having trouble finding a good aluminum-like spray paint. I've painted the outside of the base plate twice so far not happy with either result of the aluminum paints that I bought. Can anyone recommend a good spray paint that looks like aluminum or close to it? I tried some paint from my local Ace hardware that was chrome aluminum paint. Had a nice reflective quality like aluminum but it didn't go on flat and it had a bit of orange peel in it that I just wasn't happy with. Also sprayed at 5 days ago and it was still sticky I ended up wet sanding it all off. The first spray paint I tried was rustoleum aluminum and it just ended up looking like a dull silver color. I'm open to any recommendations but it has to be a spray can I don't have an airbrush.
