I went into the local model shop (the aero modellers ones) to get some brass today and while i was there he was sorting out his paints that had just come in . One stood out 'Polished steel' just right for hand rails i thought .

It says ......Stir well etc...... after 20-30 minutes drying time then polish with a soft dry cloth ....
Not tryed it yet but i will let you know _________________ Experience is something you don' t get until just after you need it .
This range of metalcote paints work well the gunmetal gives a good deep finish as well for handrails ....... use matt black as an undercoat it always gives a better depth of finish and provides a good key for the metalcote .... tip i got from a pro modelmaker
After stirring with cocktail stick pick the paint from the tip of the stick it contains more pigment as the paint tends to settle in the tin after stirring leaving the thinner on top where you usually pick paint from.
Varnish over the buffed paint isnt always good so best leave it as is.
Wish they still made satin gold in the range my supply of it is very low and still searching for old stock of it _________________
Don't worry if they have some i will get it , Its just its the sort of shop you have to go to .. er .. that sounds bad ,, but its on a main road with no parking so they don't get much passing trade , Its a very busy road so you can wait for ages to cross so i park about 400 yards away on a side street and walk , its quicker than trying to cross the road , so they often have things that others have run out of because people can't be bothered to go there _________________ Experience is something you don' t get until just after you need it .
Moved topic to the scenic section and stickied it because it's just the paint I need for my old Tomix track buffer section. I't plastic and the paints worn off. _________________ Get off the line Bobby!
