Metalizer

What can I do with a metalizer, what effect will it give and how do I use it?

Thanks in advance,

Frank

Metallizer will give the look of various metals when applied to styrene plastic.

Here is a good that explains metalizer's use and application:

When it's applied and buffed up correctly, you'd swear it was real metal you're looking at, not painted plastic.
I've never used it, but have seen kits done with it - they look really sweet when finished.
