Molotow Liquid Chrome Alcohol Paint Pump Marker, 1mm, 1 Each

This will get your toys looking ALMOST as good as new. If you don't want to work with expensive, dangerous chemicals, this is so far your best bet that I've found for small chrome style projects... I bought this pen after careful research and looking for ages for an affordable solution to restoring "silver chrome" surfaces to old toys (in this case, some heavily worn vintage Kenner "R2-D2" Star Wars figures). As many others online have suggested, after covering a generous surface of the plastic toy, I left it untouched on a shelf in the open air for 1 week (actually 8 days) before handling. It retained its shiny, mirror-reflective surface (far superior to the mere "silver" spray paint, acrylic paint and paint markers out there that don't look like chrome). It's not 100% perfect, the actual aluminum coating on "chrome toys" is somewhat shinier and brighter and I expect has a harder coat, being bonded directly to the plastic in most cases. I took the advice of others in working quickly, not touching the clean & dried surface while working, and not applying a second coat while it was drying. Over 1 week later, I can touch it (with clean hands) and it doesn't immediately dull as others have indicated happens if you touch it before 1 week. Overall it works pretty well. I would recommend though that the surface underneath should be as clean and paint-free as possible before you begin. I had previously painted one of these figures myself and while the reflective "chrome" coat looks beautiful, you can see the imperfections from my earlier brush strokes underneath. Now I only wish there were other versions of this, say in GOLD (then I could touch up C3PO!). I see others have tried "mixing" this chrome pen with acrylic paints to get other colors but the results have all been dull, in which case you might as well just use some gold acrylic paint, as you immediately lose the chrome effect. I have not tried applying a clear coat, as I'm told most clear coats dull the chrome effect. Update: I have had it recommended to me to use "Liquitex professional high gloss varnish" as a clear coat AFTER the liquid chrome has completely cured. I acquired a jar of this varnish (it was quite expensive, $18 for an 8 oz bottle at my local Hobby Lobby store) but have not yet attempted to see how it looks. The bottle says it is "permanent" so I will probably test it on a piece of plastic scrap at some point and post results, which of course will take more than a week to complete!

Nothing like it! If you build model cars and hobbies, this is a MUST HAVE.

Work's great

Great idea for touch up’s and small projects. .

I used this for the bumpers on my HO scale slot cars. The light blue was a junk body to test on. The original chrome had worn off due to age and turned back to the unplated black plastic base. You can see the instant results. The blue truck is resin and I just highlighted the details. I did experience some bad with this Chrome Paint Pen. The felt wick and metal tip popped out and spilled out on the teal Eldorado. Lucky for me I was painting the underside of the front bumper at the time. Be aware this can happen I don't think it was a real defect as much as a function of how the pen operates and is made. You have to gently push the tip in to get the paint to flow and it was during this normal operation that it happened. I will be buying more and get some of the other sizes as well.

Used it to redo emblem

The best brand of Liquid chrome pens on the market. Their 1.0mm tip being the most fluid.

Straight up, the product is fantastic. It stands alone in it's class. I have yet to find any paint that can emulate chrome like this item does. Is it cheap? Not really. BUT considering the quality and that there really isn't an acceptable alternative, the price is a little easier to swallow. AND, very important in this day of online shopping, the vendor is fantastic. When I received my pen, in my eagerness to get the paint flowing, I dabbed the tip too hard and the nib came loose and paint flowed out the sides of the nib. I sent them an email explaining my situation and before they even responded to my message, they shipped me another item for free. You have to respect this level of customer service. Buy with confidence. Great item, great vendor!

Just started scale model car building after 40 years away. Of all the new products to come out in those years this, to me, is the most amazing. You can add chrome to any part, big or little. When removing chrome parts from sprue there is damage to that parts chrome. This repairs it. It is great for window trim, bumpers.and such. HOWEVER... it does come out thick and plentiful. I find it impossible to use to highlight car badging/nameplates. Even the 1mm pen is too big for the tiny details. But this looks like chrome right off the factory floor!! **** You do have to wait 24 hours for it to completely cure, and best not to touch before that.... or too much even after. Great product. Delivery was a little slow.

Le rendu est absolument parfait ! Un vrai aspect chrome qui reste brillant avec le temps . Utilisé pour refaire un liseré dans une voiture ancienne , résultat bluffant.

El marcador hace su función muy bien, si da el efecto de haber sido cromada la pieza. Yo lo use para pintar plástico y en algunas partes pase varias veces el marcador para que pintara mejor.

I used it to correct the chrome on a plastic part of a desk lamp. The resulted chromed looks like the original.

Cumple todo lo que promete. Lo compré para arreglar un cromado dañado (bastante dañado) y deja la superficie como nueva, con reflejos de espejo, casi mejor que el cromado original de alrededor. Hace casi un mes que lo apliqué y ha resistido bastante bien el uso diario. Sí que es cierto que es muy recomendable aplicarlo bien (siguiendo las instrucciones) y dejarlo reposar y curar suficientememte (uno o dos días sin tocarlo) antes de aplicar otra capa, por lo que el resultado, aunque se ve en segundos, no es definitivo de immediato, pero si se siguen las instrucciones es fenomenal. MUY recomendable. Me ha sorprendido muy gratamente y cuando lo vuelva a necesitar lo volveré a comprar.
