Default Alsa Corp Chrome

We finally put a good test to the Alsa corp paint. Our plan is to paint the engine, Scatter shield and Trans. We started with the Scatter Shield because it looked the easyest and it came out pretty good . Next week it'll be the engine. Heres a short video of the painting

you shouldnt paint big items with that paint as it wont turn out the correct way. its meant to be applied with an airbursh in very very light coats. shooting out of a regular spray gun wont achieve the correct affect. they tried it to an entire car and it just looked silver.

Motto Chrome turns out very nice as well.. Ive done a few peices with it recently.. I have also never seen someone spray area's sooo many times for just one coat of the chrome effect... That would be a big no no with the Moto chrome
