I wanna paint the left table leg at the same color of the right one, possible to do so? (I know they use plating technique to do so but there are so many types of "chrome sprays")



I've already tried a "chrome spray" and it turned to be a complete silver color, just like the current painting

Thanks in advance!

You're after alclad. You will need perfect surface prep and a high gloss black (mirror smooth) undercoat.

Extremely difficult to achieve.

Senmm is easier, but reliant on viewer position.

Second for the Alcald II method. It's a lot of work and it's really easy to screw up, but when done right it can't be beat:

An, just read this properly. You're best off getting a plated chrome leg. Alclad great for models, but I wouldn't want to do a whole table leg with it.
