If you've ever struggled with metallic paints (getting that clean chrome finish, picking the right type of silver, or just figuring out how to not make everything look like a dull blob), this new magazine by Model Art is definitely worth checking out! 

This translated magazine might be one of the most detailed guides there about model painting. Whether you’re working on Gundam kits, Kotobukiya mechs, or just trying to nail a proper chrome-style paint job, this thing breaks it all down in a way that’s super approachable.

The first chapter kicks things off with the basics: what makes metallic paints behave the way they do, how to get smooth, reflective finishes (yes, even mirror-like ones), and how to apply them using spray cans, brushes or an airbrush. It also covers dust prevention and choosing the right lacquer thinner for better results. If you've ever wanted to really understand how to paint metallic Gundam models or apply chrome finishes without wrecking your hard work, this is the place to start.

There’s even a column dedicated to mirror chrome paint. It gets nerdy in the best way and offers practical, step-by-step advice for those bold enough to try it.
