Did you think of using chrome mylar? Just cut it into panels and iron it on. You can get it at any hobbyshop.

How flexible is the mylar? The objects are round bezels... do you think it would work?

That chrome lego block would have been plated, like model kit parts.
I need this spray stuff in silver and gold. Any suggestions from someplace local?
Hi,
Ive had some good results with Krylons Original Chrome.
Theres a trick to how I used it though.
1. Don't use it straight out of the can.
2. Sand and smooth the surface you are applying it to. Clean off all residue.
3. Apply a black undercoat first. This helps the chrome pop brighter.
4. Transfer ( spray ) the chrome paint into another container ...a small amount at a time. Then use your airbrush to apply a light even coat .
5. Let the coat dry fully then apply other coats on top... heavier than the original coat ...lettit dry between coats until you have the finish you want
Hope this helps.
Ok this is how to do the aclad chrome.....first make sure you sand your primer smooth, then spray it with gloss white, after the white dries, use rubbing compound and hand buff until it has a mirrored shine. Then the Aclad is sprayed on, after it is sprayed on take a paper towel and buff it, the heat of the buffing will make it get hard and shiny. If there are spots that look bare then you spray the aclad on those spots and buff again.here is a link on what it will look like.
I just tried to order this one they only ship to the UK.![]()
Hey B,
Try SpazStix. Its chrome in a can - a bit pricey but it actually works. The more you apply and buff the more reflective it becomes. It's the best can based chrome I've used to date.![]()
Do stores sell this or do I have to order online? Have never seen that brand before.
I'm sure some stores carry it - kind of a hit or miss. I would just go and order.
Here's a link to the few pieces I painted
