Both icw and tkting are known to sell alclad. Pm Rayloke for icw stock if you're worried. Alclad needs to be sprayed tho.. if you're hand painting, you're gonna be wasting your money on the paints.

Sorry, we r outta stock right now. We only carry the chrome paint, not other paint.

U can try  tkting.

3 digit? probably that's a big size bottle. It comes with 2 sizes. The small one already cost about RM40 (slightly less than that). so the big bottle which is probably 3x the volume might be selling at this price.

Besides that, is not easy to get direct stock from USA due to the chemical control act. The best bet would be smuggle small quantity from countries with less control.... as a result, might oso jack up the price.

So far i have used alclad II for chrome which i think for painted chrome to mimick the real thing, it's pretty good.

Other alternative would be some taiwan brand which i think offer similar result. I dont comment on that coz never have first hand experience. That one is much cheaper. mgs2u should carry that oso.

Other would be Gunze (Mr color)'s super metallic series new formula chrome silver. I ve tried on an untreated surface n looks good. But dunno how far it can go on a mirror reflect surface....

metallic sheen would involve actually adding metallic particles.. to be clear, metallic doesn't mean gloss. a high gloss kit can be a non metallic, and likewise metallic can be matte also..

so, if you want a metallic finish, my guess is maybe try to add some silver to the black, but a small amount, like maybe 9:1 black to silver, just for the metallic particles. otherwise, if you just want a high gloss finish, just finish off with a gloss coat and polish if you want to.

u can try: Mr. Clear Color GX 101 Clear Black. (new product)


But for banshee Metalic finish, it more like Clear Dark Blue.

i put cement and after that cement cure, i put putty to secure the parts... huhuhu
