My favourite present from Christmas is a Molotow liquid chrome pen and I have been using it all over the place to enhance my diecast collection. This amazing pen can bring your old models back to life, restoring that original metallic shine that makes collectibles look authentic and stunning.

What is the Molotow Liquid Chrome Pen?

The Molotow Liquid Chrome Pen is a high-quality marker that contains liquid chrome ink. It's designed to create a mirror-like finish on various surfaces, making it perfect for restoring chrome details on diecast model cars. The pen comes with a replaceable tip and produces an incredibly realistic chrome effect.

Why Use It on Diecast Models?

Over time, diecast model cars can lose their shine, especially on chrome parts like bumpers, grilles, and trim pieces. The chrome plating can wear off, fade, or become dull, significantly affecting the model's appearance. This is where the Molotow pen becomes invaluable.

Application Tips

• Clean the surface thoroughly before application
• Apply thin, even coats for best results
• Allow proper drying time between coats
• Use in a well-ventilated area
• Practice on test pieces first

Results

The transformation is truly remarkable. Dull, faded chrome parts regain their mirror-like finish, making vintage models look like they just rolled off the production line. It's particularly effective on Dinky, Corgi, and Matchbox models from the 1960s and 1970s.

If you're serious about diecast collecting and restoration, the Molotow Liquid Chrome Pen is an essential tool that will help you maintain and enhance your collection for years to come.
