So Dakka Dakka folks. I am in need of a dark grey almost black that has a good satin finish to it. I already have the this color in P3, Vallejo Model Color, and Reaper but all are too matte for what I need.
This is going to be for the armor plating on the Hyperion Colossal from PP (about the same size as a Knight Titan).
I'm also contemplating just adding a metallic medium to it but not sure that's gonna be an amazing result.
If you're using oil wash and sealing it, you will probably need to paint on the satin after (assuming just the grey areas will be satin and you're leaving other areas matte). It's kinda all or nothing when you spray on varnishes.

I use airbrush varnishes so I can be more selective and give some areas more or less matte/glossy.
