Nice. How hard is that pen to use? Do you just use it like a pen or what? Which tip did you get?
I'm really leaning towards getting one but just worried it's hard to use, like it'll be too runny or stuff.

there is a liquid paint marker in chrome i have seen people crack open and air brush with the paint and have good results. i have yet to try it but will one day. idk if the left over paint can be stored or its a one time shot so i'm waiting for something big to try it on since the paint marker aint cheap
btw, this looks great. did you name it? Sky Ratt? |

It wasn't hard at all. I got both the 4mm and 1mm. I will say and I'm not sure if this was me on a learning curve (1st time I used it) or the fact that was using it to cover large areas, or maybe even that I was painting over a previous paint job (I sprayed it black originally) but some areas if you look closely have a sort of brush stroke look to it. Its not horrible looking BUT it looked a bit sloppy in some spots. And I had to be patient as all hell (which I'm kinda not)...again probably because I'm doing large areas...and accidentally touching areas not entirely dry. So paint a section and either take great care not to touch it or let it dry like a at least half a week...maybe even a week to be sure. But regardless of any issues I had, its still the best looking and cheapest chroming effect I could find...although airbrushing might be better. I've never tried that. |

Yeah great results with the chrom pen. I use the refill with a airbrush and like you said it’s probably the best alternative to real vacuum chrome.
Congrats! Did you put a clear coat on it?
