what a good (or the best) aluminum paint for resin knobs? i dont want them to look just like silver paint.
thank you
testors model master line aluminum metalizer in the spray can
the type you buff after it dries
cool ,all the guns i have had in the past had real aluminum knobs, so i didn’t know the best way to go about this . thank you
Ok, I’m going to spill my secret for realistic, semi-shiney silver paint. On my pack, I just began weathering and didn’t want just any silver paint, just like you. I went to a hobby store and bought a silver leaf paint pen. The quality is awesome, and the end result is a very metal finish.
Exact stuff i use. Works fantastic.
does anybody have pics of that paint on a knob?
I just threw a coat on a set of resin knobs now for you so give a a few hours and I will have some comparison pics posted.
sweet dude .. thanks
Okay, I didn’t have any of my machined knobs handy for this pic but I will dig them up for another shot. These are both resin knobs painted with the aluminum plate paint pictured in Kind2311’s post. I didn’t do any prep work on the knobs so they will look a little rough around the edges.. I gave the large knob a quick buff for the pic and left the small one alone. Few coats of paint and buffing in between can really make these things shine.
