Shiny/sparkle metallic look - how?

Jul 14, 2003 1 Replies

Hi all,



As subject, how do I make a surface with good metallic look? Obviously metallic paint is needed, but then usually it's not as shiny/sparkle after paint applied and dried out. What is needed to do that? Primer-and-sand? Additional 'sparkling' paint??? Clear-coat to make it more shiny??



Thanks. Ernest


That depends. What kind of model are you building? An airplane in natural metal finish? A car in a metallic color? A Sci Fi kit?
