FAQs
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying times can vary, but generally allow at least 15-30 minutes between coats and a few hours for the final coat to fully cure. Refer to the can for specific instructions.
Can I use this paint on other materials besides plastic?
While primarily designed for plastic models, it may work on other materials. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
How do I clean up the spray nozzle?
After use, invert the can and spray until only propellant comes out. This will help prevent the nozzle from clogging.
What kind of primer should I use?
Use a primer specifically designed for plastic models. Follow the primer's instructions for application and drying times.
How many coats should I apply?
Apply thin coats until you achieve the desired chrome finish. Usually, 2-3 coats are sufficient, but it may depend on the color of the primer.
What should I do if the paint clogs the nozzle?
Try cleaning the nozzle with a pin or needle. If it remains clogged, replace the nozzle with a new one.
Troubleshooting
Paint is running or dripping.
Apply thinner coats and ensure the can is held the correct distance from the model. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed. Lightly sand the surface to promote adhesion.
Uneven finish.
Shake the can thoroughly before use. Apply even coats in a sweeping motion, maintaining a consistent distance from the model.

Ensure you're using thin, even coats and applying the paint to a smooth, primed surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure the model surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and fingerprints. Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to promote adhesion.
- Priming (Recommended): Apply a suitable primer to the model's surface. This helps the chrome paint adhere better and provides a smoother base.
- Application: Shake the can well for at least 2 minutes before use. Hold the spray can approximately 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) away from the model's surface. Apply thin, even coats in a sweeping motion. Avoid applying thick coats, as this can lead to runs and drips.
- Drying: Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Drying times may vary depending on humidity and temperature. Refer to the instructions on the can for recommended drying times.
- Compatibility: This spray paint is designed for use on plastic model kits. It may also be compatible with other surfaces, but testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended before applying to the entire model.
- Care: Once the paint has dried, avoid touching the painted surface as much as possible. Handle the model with clean hands. To clean, use a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
