Hi Guys,

hmm felt like working for a candy color finish on my next kit. So I'm trying to find the most efficient way to achieve this. I bought a cheap pylox (nippon) chromo rattle can and tested on some spoons.

Above spoons are some with slightly different primer. But regardless of the primer, it seems... grainy. Without a mirror chrome finish, would I be able to achieve this kinda result?

Chrome needs to be polished for mirror effect. Straight spray may look smooth, but it is actually uneven.

To get the similar effect in the picture, you should use sparkling silver (higher flake content) and then paint clear red.

Do you have any recommended way to achieve the clear red result? Airbrush the sparkling silver > clear red? I'm thinking spray can the primer > silver and AB the clear red. But spray can silver/chrome seems grainy......unless..

Cheap but acceptable way is the sparkling silver + clear red + gloss. It won't be smooth to the touch but the effect will be similar.

Yes, many brands like Samurai carry this color. It is actually silver with lots of metallic flakes.

Advocado don't you have problems with gloss paint when you used ACE primer?

If you are new to the hobby, I won't recommend it due to the complexity but if you are up for a real challenge go for it
