GEC's Layout Progress

Unfortunately, This sort of paint isn't the "paintbrush kind". Its a very sensitive type of chrome metallic paint. You actually can't brush it, its so thin that it looks like cloudy sparkly laquer. its meant for an airbrush

It actually requires a gloss black base coat, but I'm thinking the patches of exposed plastic will be OK (the model came with someone's poor attempt at a silver paint job, which I think is Semi- responsible for the trouble as far as paint chipping).

I'm just going to spray the Chrome directly onto it, but I might as well hit the whole end. Besides, some parts on the body can probably use some touch up.
