Alcohol-based, highly reflective chrome effect. One coat. Real shine. Multiple colours.
📦 What You Get
17ml alcohol-based chrome paint formulated for maximum mirror-like reflectivity. Works with brush or airbrush (thin with alcohol). Best results on smooth, dark, glossy primer. Clean tools with isopropyl alcohol. Apply in one even coat – avoid varnish/wash over the top to preserve the chrome effect.

Bright, intense gold – jewellery-like finish. Ornaments, regalia, treasure, gilded armour.
Warm, muted old gold – aged, historical feel. Fantasy, steampunk, worn insignia.
Warm orange-copper chrome. Pipes, steampunk details, industrial accents, armour trim.
Warm polished bronze – darker than copper/gold. Ornamental details, fantasy, statues.
Cool, darker steel chrome. Armour, weapons, machinery – when pure silver is too bright.

- Protect while drying – keep dust-free for 30 min

What's the difference between a paint and a wash?
Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.
Can I use these paints in an airbrush?
Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.
Do I need a primer?
Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
