Re: [Amc-list] Alclad Type Paint For 1:1 Cars

["Steven F. Brueggeman" <amcer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Armand,

I used some chrome & mag polish to wipe off what was left of the original 
chrome on the bezel. Made sure that was cleaned off then applied gloss black 
and let that dry. Then applied the Alclad a day later.

Got it at a hobby store. Directions are on the bottle. Need an airbrush to 
apply it.

If you want replacement bezels, Amark has them.
