How to create shiny metal surface
Difficulty:
Aircrafts usually have some shiny metal parts. You can find some small metal parts in landing gears, but it can also be a cone of aircraft propeller or even whole aircraft can be metallic and not painted. It took me some time before I found the right paint and proper technique to get nice metallic look. I used paints Alclad 2 and polishing paints Model Master Metalizer.
The first photo shows surface painted and polished with Model Master Metalizer. I think it looks really good, but you have to polish painted surface properly. Other option is to use Alclad paints. It also looks very good.
The procedure i very simple. You have to clean and remove grease from plastic part of model. Then you paint it with black glossy acrylic paint and let it dry. After that, you can paint it with Alclad paint. The paint is dry very soon, so you can just wipe it out with piece of cloth and beautiful metallic surface is finished.
