Hello everyone, just wondering whats the best paint to use for the resin [gun knobs](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/gun-knobs) that will give it the most realistic metal look?

I’d tend to say killer chrome from alsa corp.

[http://alsacorp.com/products/killercans/kc/killerchrome\_prodinfo.htm](http://alsacorp.com/products/killercans/kc/killerchrome_prodinfo.htm)

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.

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