It looks very dark to the naked eye but silver in the photos, do you think I should go again with the Alclad?

If you go to heavy with the Alclad Chrome you run the risk of turning it dull and Alu looking mate

How long do you need to wait for it to cure, Robbo?

Going to try to do something with the canopy now, this thing is in two parts very small and soft detail so wish me luck.
Good thing is they put two in the kit, I think I might need them both

Right I done the canopy, masking didn't t work as the detail was too soft and the thing was a bit small for me , I done it very carefully with a thin nib chrome pen seems to have done the trick
The Alclad has had a couple of coats of Alclad varnish to seal it in, those that have used Alclad will know it goes black if you handle it without varnish. Just got to dry and I can get the canopy on and the detail painted, It needs an anti glare panel of olive drab
Pics when there is something to see. My camera is playing up and I've got a new camera card in the hope that is all it needs
