Anyone who knows how to get that great 32k gold look for models?

Anyone who can make that great shiny look like that of real cars?

Thank You!

I've tried to post the same thing in Aircraft talk, but I guess you people could help

The best way to get a shiny gold, is to find a company that can plate it for you in gold, just like the chrome parts.

Chrome will have the best results if you have them plated, but AlClad has a chrome paint that is VERY good. You spray it over top of Gloss Black and the finish is very bright and shiny.

You may be able to add some yellow color to the Alclad chrome and get a decent gold color out of it, but I don't know.
