Weathering chrome
Just wondering if anyone on here has a good method for making chrome not so pretty. I'm doing a Gelande D90 and am pretty happy with the body but the chrome stands out like a sore thumb. The body is dark so i think blacking out the chrome would look dumb. I also thought of maybe doing the chrome pieces in white. Tia.

Ive been thinking about your question.
Just an Idea... Maybe take a piece of Chrome parts tree piece and set inside a zip lock baggy with some normal supper glue on card stock away from the piece. Seal and let sit.
I think most of us know about the white glaze film that can occur from super glue.
Then if it works... Maybe some dull coat to seal and a wash of Brown and Black ...lightly or multiple coats.
Just an Idea........ Great question for us that like the realistic weathering.
Putting it in "H"
The chrome on the D90 is particularly "chromey". Perhaps try spraying it with a satin clear coat to take the edge off? The real trucks hardly ever used chrome - in fact, I don't think they were ever chrome. I've seen flat black, matte silver, and gloss black, but never chrome.
I'd satin clear it to differentiate yourself. Maybe toss a few brushstrokes of a black wash over top to give it some age.

That could be cool. Definitely different. I say go for it.

Heres the truck as it sets. Still have to shoot a flat clear coat.

**Update**
Sprayed the chrome white, little bit of Tamiya weathering powder for rust, and then black washed the whole thing.
I have your punch!!
But it doesn't look bad at all! Unique approach.
