In case any of you have ever wondered how to make the mixmaster as shiny as original, I can tell you how, it does not involve any kind of spray paints at all. The original plastic was "vaccum-metalized" You simply can't achieve this level of shininess with a paint. I had to have mine sent off to a company in CA that does this for toys and small parts. All plastic/chrome in most pinball toys was made this way.

I had to contact Dennis Nordman to find this out myself, and I find it kind of important to keep my mixmaster shiny since its labeled: "that big shiny thing over there"
