title is the question (How do you make a mirrored Effect?)

**gohkm**

Could you clarify, please? A mirrored effect, such as that found in Sky-Earth NMM (chrome reflections), or to paint a images such as those found in a normal mirror but mimicking a reflective surface?

Like a Reflective Cockpit

paint chrome or silver paint on the inside of the plastic.

do a test first on some clear plastic (like some packaging).

Also, it works best with an airbrush.

There is a product used by aeromodellers for plain aluminium aircraft. It is like a thin foil that you rub down carefully. That would be worth a look.

**commissarbob**

Alclad or the metallizer paints from Testors would likely work the best assuming that you have an airbrush.
