Hello everyone, just wondering whats the best paint to use for the resin gun knobs that will give it the most realistic metal look?
I’d tend to say killer chrome from alsa corp.

it will end up being more shiney then the real thing.
I haven’t used it on any resin pieces, but I have found that Colorplace brand’s “Silver Aluminum” color makes a very nice metallic sheen on pretty much anything. Colorplace is the brand of spray paint they sell at Wal-Mart, I believe for around 96 cents a can, last I checked.
96 cents a can!!! Damn thats cheap!! the cheapest spray paint you can buy here (UK) is about £3-4 (about $8)

I use only Krylon spray paint. It’s cheap and it dries fast.
