Default RE: Building the original Byron P-51 Mustang

It is almost time to start thinking about paint. I already have my paint scheme in mind and have the graphics for it. There are very few people know what scheme I chose and if you are one of them please don't tell yet. Give me untill I actually start painting All I can say is that the fuselage is POLISHED aluminum. I don't really want to use flitemetal but I am at a standstill on this one. There is a reason for not wanting to do the flightmetal.
I am looking into the new chrome paints by Alsacorp.com and Innate.com. The only reason I haven't pulled the trigger is because I have heard that when it is done, the chrome paint can peel off. I don't really want to take that risk. Anyone out there ever used that stuff? Alsa corp would cost me at least 400 bucks to do my plane. WAY over my budget!
