I am having a late HP35 restored.
I would most welcome suggestions for the type of silver paint I can use to restore the silvered case parts.
I live in the UK, but would source any appropriate suggestions via the net.
Thank you for your suggestions

Hello,
I use either Humbrol enamel or Revell colors for modelbuilding for such a job. Humbrol offers two different silver colors: "silver metallic" and "chrome silver". I used the first one.
Maybe other members have better suggestions (Geoff - are you listening ? :-) BTW: any news about your book ?)
Kind regards
Karl
Thank you for your reply, Karl.
I was concerned that the silver paints I remember from my childhood in the 1970's had a finish like corroding aluminium.
I would like to replicate the chrome effect.
I had considered a light adhesive and silver metal leaf.
I will seek out your suggestions 1st
Regards Anoop
