After having spent the last couple of hours (ahhh retirement...) poking around this site, it's obvious there is an excellent collection of serious space modelers here.   I thought you all might benefit from my little experiment and I hope it helps.   As any modeler knows, "Real Space" or other, we have all been trying to find a solution to the gold visor on helmets. Gold paint is close but looks like, well, gold paint and foil wrinkles and looks like hell.
