Re: Repainting silver trim on a 35? Message #4 Posted by Geoff quickfall on 31 Oct 2009, 2:43 p.m., in response to message #3 by tim m.
Hello Tim,
Unfortunately, unless you vacuum plate them as originally done at the HP facilities you can't get that extremely shiny metal look.
The process is the same as used on car dashes.
People here have experimented with:
1 spray paint.
2 brushed paint.
3 silver gilt which requires sizing first.
4 1 and 2 with a coating of gloss clear coat (for plastic).
Cheers, Geoff
