Can you buy chrome paint in a tin? I wouldn't mind having a crack at mine if I knew I could get an even finish....

Thanks Joe. Had to work on myself for a while but it's nice to be getting into building and painting kits again. Not sure everybody will say this but I find it relaxing and rewarding.

If you use an airbrush and follow the alclad proceedure then you'll get a even colored piece. Here's an example of something I was working on last year.

Thanks for the advice; this is something I believe I could do myself.

Cool! That looks great man! Although I think I would be too scared to use an airbrush, calling myself an airbrush novice would be putting it lightly....
