Having recently completed a S2 Mandelorian build I thought that my choice and process using Alumaluster may be

worth a comment or two. My own feeling is that his armor does not look like chrome. It should have a deeper heaver

metallic look. Any metal finish has to start with a flawless smooth base. You must work as dust free as you can at each

layer of the process. Let the layers dry a long time. One week minimum, I do two. This really helps the 2K clear set up.

   When the 2K is hard you can remove minor dust specks using 2000 sand paper as close to the speck as possible and

then I polished each little spot with Meguiar's clear coat safe, polishing compound.

    Keeping these tips in mind---1.- smooth base 2.- Dupli-Color flat black sandable auto primer #16987 3.- USC Spray Max

aerosol spray can 2K Clear Glamour #3680061 4.- Air brush Alumaluster ,around 70%-80% coverage for rich look  5.- 2K clear again.

    It's my experience that any clear coat will refract light, and slightly soften metallic products.
