Hey, Does anyone know of a good resource on paint for repainting chrome parts on G1 toys or for potential use on later generation toys?

Cheers

I've never used them, but other kitbashers say Chrome Tech is the best, if a little slow.
You can also try Bare Metal Foil, which I used on ROTF Ejector:

The wrinkles were due to me using an older sheet. I've redone it using newer foil, but haven't taken any pictures.

Think i found a good product. Duplicolor Automotive Metallic. Looks like it will work on those old G1 toys that had the gold and silver/chrome weapons, especially the g1 cassettes

Alclad Chrome.

I saw examples of the Alclad that looked very good; but, does anyone know any HAND paints that I could use for very simple touch up to chrome parts? I don't really want to do extensive work...

Thanks, y'all.
