I was rewatching Excalibur last night and trying to figure out if it would be possible to recreate the ridiculously shiny armor of King Arthur and his Knights.

Beyond grabbing a can of Spray Chrome and going to town on some Sigmar models... I thought I'd ask for advice here first.

Oh wow.

Can you imagine an Imperial Knight like that?

I used the Green Stuff World chrome paint, albeit in very limited quantities. It's nice if you want to paint something shiny and chrome. Downside, at least for me, is that it's alcohol based. And matt varnish completely destroys the effect, so neatly varnishing the surrounding areas was way too much work for my taste.

Read some reviews of GSW's paint and a reoccurring theme amongst chrome paints... apparently they aren't made for wargame use (aka constant handling).

GSW must be handled very carefully and handled with gloves. Light fingerprints can be carefully polished away.

Maybe the aluminum look on ww2 model airplanes might be easier to accomplish?
