Explains everything from parts handling to primer preparation and actual paint application to achieve a realistic metallic finish on aircraft and vehicle models. What to look for in surface treatment and painting parts to make silver shiny, what happens when you try to paint the same aircraft model in different shades of silver, what kind of finish you get when you paint with acrylic lacquer silver, whose performance improves rapidly... and much more.
Many examples of actual models, especially aircraft and car models, are presented. The book also includes examples of painting small parts, such as engine nozzles and variations in painting caterpillar tracks.
