Hi. I'm lookin for chrome paint. Did parma make chrome (real chrome, like mirror paint)? Or maybe other company who make good chrome paint, but parma will be the best because my local hobby has got that company and they will order that paint.

Your hobby shop will also order Spaz Stix. Spaz Stix makes the chrome paint your looking for.

Malfunkshun, I got Alclad II paint from modelsport.co.uk, it does the same job.

I use Alclad II and have some great results with it in the past.

4 or 5 years ago that was true, but Spaz Stix has reformulated there Chrome a few times since then, making it better and better each time. Today Spaz Stix has a much better chrome than Alclad II.

You can buy Spaz Stix in Europe off the Spaz Stix website, even pay with Paypal if you like.

The body is an HPI Dodge Charger for the Savage.

No, It can't be used for TC. It's a Dodge charger for the HPI Savage 8th scale 4x4 trucks, also works good on a T-maxx.

Thing is I don't have any airbrush equipment so aerosol is the only option for me...and this is what I found on the Spaz Stix site: "Please note: While we can ship Aerosols oversees, they are much more exspensive than their airbrush counterpart. The shopping cart does not accurately reflect the increased cost of shipping Aerosols oversees. This increase in shipping is typically around $75.00 USD. If you would like to keep your costs down, and not delay the shipment of your order, please purchase Airbrush paint for all orders outside of the United States."
It's not just worth paying that much :)

Yeah, you would be better off just putting that $75 into an airbrush.

Definitely, you can pick up a really good Iwata for about $25usd more than that shipping cost!

If the airbrush is more than you want or have to spend you can pick up a prevail sprayer from lowes / home depot or even walmart I believe for about 5 bucks & spray with that.

Can Spaz Stix Chrome be used in conjuction with Faskolors?

adrcracing
09-14-2006, 11:07 AM
Yes, I do it all the time, but be careful with the anodized paints, they will bleed through Faskolor or any other paints for that matter.
