Where are you fellows purchasing the Molotow Chrome in a bottle to use with an air brush?

Thanks

I ordered mine off of ebay. I think it came from a hobby store in kansas.

So is it just a refill for a pen? I thought somewhere I saw a larger bottle?

Thanks for the response Tom

Yes. You want the 30 ml refill tube. I guess you can use it to refill the pens. I put the little side cup on my airbrush and put 4 or 5 drops in it. That's plenty to do a bumper. You want to apply it as thin as possible and preferably in one coat. The less you put on the quicker and shinier it will dry in my opinion.

I used some from a pen in my air brush. Its different then allcad. You need to shoot allclad on gloss black but molotow works better on a white surface. The molowtow  dulls easily if you touch it even after it drys. I haven't been real happy with it except for touching up small areas which I just use the pen.

I agree with Mark. Neat for small repairs, little interior things or spots where the chrome was removed from the tree, etc. Beyond that, it's not all it's cracked up to be. I'll stick with Alclad and BMF.
