I have used the Faskolor chrome its like gray , It sucks. I use Spaz Stix on most of my Bodies. It works well in my opinion. Just takes a thin coat and back it with black. I like it!"thumbsup""thumbsup"

another great product that i use is alclad II (chrome for lexan)
purchased from local hobby shop.or www.alclad2.com
i also recomend not backing any of the chrome paints with black
as they suggest, it takes the chrome look and turns it like aluminum
color. just back it with what ever color that your using
with it. with these i just backed em in blue.

team3six is absolutly correct. Spazstix is the way to go. Go to the for sale section and pick some up! I've posted this picture a few times when people ask about chrome. You can back it with any color, HOWEVER, the reason some say it dulls, or turns dark etc. is because they havn't put on enough layers. It's almost impossible to tell looking at the body from the out side but hold it up to the light while standing in a shaded area and you'll see that you havn't put enough layers on. you'll see the transparent areas that need more paint. this body was backed with black, not to enhance the chrome but more as a protective layer as the chrome can scratch easily. Then I backed it with faskote. Also ensure the area to be sprayed is completely clean as this paint will show everything, including finger prints!!
