My solution for doing silver, chrome, or candy (since it's all layers) is to lay a light coat of Mr. Finishing Gloss Black 1500 then a heavy coat to bring the gloss out, before laying doing Gaia Notes metallic, or the Spatz Sticks, gloss black and mirror chrome combination is fantastic. Hope that helps! Great build!

Great video, the monochrome color scheme looks so good on your MG Unicorn. For cleaning up enamel panel liner or enamel paints, Zippo Lighter Fluid is a great alternative to enamel thinner. Cleans it up just as well and it's much more mild than enamel thinner. Hope to see more build videos!

There are a lot of loose parts, I just didn't show them in the video. The shield attachment for instance ALWAYS falls off when I move the kit around. It's ridiculous lol. For some parts, especially joints, you can always use a good layer of Top Coat. Most of the time it helps making the joints stiffer. And thank you for watching :)
