The paints are made by Alclad and I purchased a polished aluminium for exterior painting and a chrome Lexan paint both to be used with an airbrush . Now these paints are acetone based and previously all my airbrush paints were water based so I had to get the correct cleaners etc and an extractor spray booth .
Firstly I tried the aluminium paint on a small 3d print scanned off my head , this is where my first mistake became apparent , these paints need a high gloss black micro filler primer for best results and I ordered some but I ordered wrong and ended up with a matt primer . Anyway here is the pictures , firstly the unpainted grey head , then the black primer ,then the aluminium paint, and finally buffed and clear coated in the required water based lacquer.

Not bad but could have been better with the correct primer.
