    Well guys, I'm starting off on my first real cool mod, just something simple I guess...I'll have pics later if I feel like it. :p

    Anyways, I am in need of some paint for the project; in particular some nice metallic colors. I am looking for a chrome-ish spraypaint (although I like the 'brushed' look more than the 'mirror' look), a metallic red and a metallic blue. If I could do some high gloss overcoat thingy that'd be cool too...I know nothing about painting :D

    Anyways, if you guys have any good sites for metallic spraypaints please let me know :) And if you've got any pics of stuff you've done with the paint or if the site has pics that's even better, so that I can see how it looks when it's dried. :)

    Thanks!!

    Most of the 'Chrome' paint I've used could best be described as dull grey. The last stuff I bought the silver by the same company was shinier...

    Lowe's painting area, I got Rust O Leum Metallic series ("chrome") and put it on my xbox, it's simply stunning, just make sure to put primer and clear coat
