Wow, that's really coming along nicely. Ultron is one heck of a cool villain, always evolving

Thanks for the comments!
This being enjoyed working on this project! But I am having difficulty on which paint to use to leave it with metallic appearance


Suggestions?

Is their any way to get a mirror finish on it (like chrome plating) ? I've always imagined seeing the fear on the heroes face reflected in the helmet would be a cool cover on a comic book.

I don't know my paints, but something that resembles stainless steel, brushed chrome or a chrome (polished) look would be pretty sweet.

There are a number of 'chrome finish' spray paints available at your local auto parts store. I would buy a few different cans and try them out on another surface. You might be surprised by how reflective they can be. And i'm sure with some light wet sanding, you should be able to punch up the mirror finish even further.

Prepping will be your biggest ally, as the chrome paint will amplify every ripple, bump or imperfection on the helmet's surface.
