Hi,
looking for ideas as to what paint, or what technique can be used to get a brushed stainless or aluminum effect?

thanx,
Nick

I've never done this before...be interesting to see what posts you get on this.

In the instructions for the MirraChrome I bought, it says that if you were to sand the black base before applying the chrome, it gives a brushed effect.

Sorry I can't be more help!

I just bought the "ghost chrome" and they said to start with a black primer/basecoat and sand with 400/500 grit paper and that shoudl giv eme my brushed effect......just have to work out how to do the edges of the falmes to make them appear 'raised' now.

thanx
Nick

I was at coast air brush yesterday and saw a dvd that showed how to use the Mirra Chrome and GhostMirra Chrome, which could give you the effect your looking for. They had some really cool examples of a brushed aluminum effect hanging on display. If you don't live in southern california, try their website.
