In my quest to get nice colored metallics (without 8 applications of a wash), I was wondering if anyone painted a model in a silver color, then painted Tamyia clear paint on top to shade the metal?

Yeah I think in the end I had about 5 or 6 layers of Tamyia Clear Red sprayed on. What really made it pop was the clear coat of Future on top. In and of itself the Tamyia clear did not have the depth I wanted, so the Future coat gave me what I was looking for. It is really an optical illusion, the metallic pigment is berried quite deep, and all the gloss layers on top really add to that depth.
