This is just an amazing build...you can't tell the difference between this and the movie prop...

amazing work...

for the chrome what type of chrome paint did you used? I've tried many times to get that effect on a helmet I have but never comes out right even after using black gloss as a base...

Thank you. I used Alclad chrome on top of a high gloss black. The black must have a mirror perfect finish, in order to work properly. The Alclad is applied with an airbrush with many super thin coats. Almost dusting the surface. Once that is dry, wipe it gently with a microfiber cloth. Hopefully that helps.

Have you found Alclad to be durable? It seemed to scratch and chip very easily when I tried it, and that's after letting it dry for a few days before the microfiber polishing. I'd often find spots where it rubbed right through to the black undercoat, but any kind of sealer immediately screws up the metallic finish.

Yes, this is the downside of Alclad. I seal mine with an acrylic paint. If you do it in a few light coats, it won't mess up the metallic look. You can then do a coat of high gloss on top, and make it shine again.

Would you mind expanding on what specific paints or materials you use to seal the Alclad?
