Hi all,

Got a this kit to build:

I want to do the main body in a dark silver/gun metal grey with the Rocket Bunny kit in satin black and I want to spray it. I'm looking for a can of dark silver that will have a fine metallic finish. Anyone got any recommendations?

Vallejo Air, aluminium or steel are the finest grain silver acrylics I've found, but you'll need an airbrush.

Metallics are a nightmare to get looking right on models. Good luck.

Have you looked at Tamiya TS-42? Most pictures exaggerate the metallic effect and it actually look better on the model. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tamiya+ts-42&amp...

That looks pretty much spot on, thanks.
