Re: Star Wars Ep7: REY'S BLASTER kit
So you did a base coat of gloss black, misted the clear coat, followed by the chrome, and more clear coat? Also, do you recommend painting before or after assembly?
Alclad II "chrome", applied with an airbrush. You need to use their special clear coat as well though, since the chrome rubs off otherwise. You can see in the photo where it came off in places before I added the clear coat. The Alclad clear does NOT dull the shine like other clear paints do. Also note that you should "mist" it on over a black high-gloss base.
Oh, and I'm getting close to being able to ship out the first batch sooner than expected!
