Need help finding a product

[Modlbldr]

I am looking for, what I believe, is a Japanese product. It is a powder that you rub on plastic to make it look like bare metal. I thought the name was Jin- something??

I want to make a bare metal looking 29 or 32 Ford. Does anybody have a clue what I am hinting at or was I just dreaming again? Thanks.

Hmmmmm...looks like it's no longer in production.

However, this looks interesting...   https://www.uschivdr.com/products-in-detail/polishing-powders-metallic-pigments/

Model Master paints offers several different types of Metalizer spray paints. #1451 Aluminum Plate - # 1452 Stainless Steel - #1454 Titanium - #1459 Metalizer Sealer. After spraying any of the colors, wait for them to dry completely and then you can polish them with a soft cloth, I use a Q-Tip. Then spray the sealer since handling will leave finger prints and the finish can smear also. Tamiya offers a Bare-Metal Silver in their aircraft line it's #AS-12.

I'm pretty sure I have a container that has had very little of the material used out of it.  I will look when I get time.  It was a hot item for a short time.  I bought twenty of them .  Made some good money off of them on Ebay and put a few in the Desert Scale contest raffle.  I'm not sure if I have any unopened ones left though.  The name of it reminds me of a sneeze.  Also I don't think this is the same company that developed the CLEARVIEW 2000 product.

You are to paint a part shiny black and rub, rub, rub the powder on.  Some say it was graphite powder.  I think there was a pair of rubber gloves and a cheap face mask in the box too.  You might try super fine sanding a pencil lead to make a powder and see what that does no shiny black paint.

I recommend against this. The sealer usually turns the polished metal finish into silver paint. If the metalizers are allowed to dry very thoroughly, they become much less sensitive to handling.

I also recommend handling recently shot metalized parts with thin cotton gloves.

The engine cowling is buffed metalizer. The cockpit cowling has been shot with "sealer".

What about just using Alclad paint. It comes in Chrome which needs a black base, Polished Aluminum which after a few coats takes on a very shiny metalic finish or just Aluminum. It can be airbrushed out of the battle and goes on as a thin coat with no streaking.and very little buid-up. It is also quite a tough finish.

Don't forget SnJ Model Products Spray Metal kits.  They still pop up on the ebay once in a while. I have an aluminum kit, but I'm not convinced it's still any good..  They produce very convincing metal finishes

I found my bottle of chroming powder.  A few years ago there were several pages about this product in this forum.
