Excellent build, Morris.

Next time you use a metal finish try gloss white as your base!

I tried it a while back James. I can't get a true chrome look (polished stainless steel) out of anything but glossy black - White just looks like a very shiny white paint.....unless I'm doing something wrong....

Lovely job Morris. Another one to be proud of!

You need AK's Xtreme metal stainless steel on a light or white background.

Let me fire up my kit and camera!

Zero paints silver base coat says to apply over a light base coat. However, I tried it on a half black, half white spoon, and there was only the very faintest difference. Just an aside, different paints will behave differently.

Another stunning build Morris
The AK's Xtreme metal range are really good and sit well on a black base coat, never tried it over white before James. The mig stainless steel is very good and is a dream through an airbrush and is less prone to rub off like Alclad. Mission models premium metallic acrylics are supposed to be excellent so it's on my Telford shopping list.
