Re: chrome paint ?

I read in a magazine where they said Dull Aluminum spray paint matched the A/C-heat controls perfectly. If your trim isn’t too bright & shinny it may work. If it is shinny, maybe a small piece of shiny aluminum tape may work?

Re: chrome paint ?

The model guys use a product called alclad. from what ive seen, you cant tell its paint. i believe its like a 2 or 3 step process thats sprayed on.

Re: chrome paint ?

Would this alclad be suitable for use on the instrument panel bezels? They were very shiney from the factory.

Re: chrome paint ?

I tried Duplicolor's chrome paint once around the edge of a bezel. It looked terrible.
