Hey guys, check out this review from a customer that tried it out. Pictures included. Doesnt look like its worth it at all. A bunch of top notch jibber jabber for high priced garbage.


Alsa "Killer Chrome" product review - Hot Rod Forum : Hotrodders Bulletin Board

I build 1/25th scale models and have used an identical product but on a much smaller scale. The prep is critical for a nice job. The black undercoat HAS to look like glass. Then when spraying the chrome less is more if you know what I mean. If you put too much on it looks like silver. It is not an easy product to use and get right. 10 people could use it and all 10 have different results.
Here is the stuff I use. Way to small of bottles for 1:1 scale but gives you an idea of what finishes are possible.
