Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There is no true metal/ chrome spay paint, unfortunately they all look like metal/ silver paint, although some look OK(ish)!. I have made a realistic 'metal' by painting a cast piece of plaster (but I think most things would work), with 'Zeebo', which is a 'fire grate paint', then using ground graphite,(from a graphite stick, via a pencil sharpener), and black boot polish!. Rubbing it hard gives a good metallic sheen,not unlike shiny cast steel/ iron!. There is a 'metal cote' paint by Humbrol, which, when dry can be polished and looks like real metal!. http://www!.airfix!.com/humbrol-paints-and!.!.!. Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Yes!.
