need help with covering
 
I am trying to get a realistic looking aluminum covering for my HOB electric mustang kit. I have seen grays and silvers. What would look the most like metal?

If you want the full mirror metal look you can use Chrome Monokote. It has a mirror finish on it.

Actually, silver MonoKote looks more realistic.

Don't know what you ended up using on your project. Flite-Metal provides "The Look Of The Real Thing" in an easy, simple application and finishing process that has consistantly won Top Gun, AMA Scale NATs, and Scale Masters for the last twelve years. George Mairorana won Frist Place at the AMA NATs last week in Muncie with his Tu-95 Bear covered with Flite-Metal.
