				<title>Making Citadel paints more metallic</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I am planning on buying an airbrush to do some camo patterns.  I would like to try making screamer pink more metallic.  My plan was to mix ledbelcher with screamer pink.  Do you think this would work?<br /> <br /> <br /> Also, what mixture ratios do you use when base coating using Citadel paints in an airbrush? ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ It's different for every colour, as every colour varies in consistency. Aim for skimmed milk and you're about there. <br /> <br /> As for metallicising, Vallejo do a metallic medium that should do what you want. Leadbelcher will work, but as it is in many respects a metallic black, it may alter the underlying colour of Screamer Pink more than the proper stuff. <br /> <br /> Alternatively, put down a good coat of silver, then spray very thin coats of Screamer Pink over the top. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Mix it with either the Metalic medium, or the VMA Steel paint. Those are my usual two go-tos for mixing up a metallic that I don't have handily pre-mixed.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Mixing a regular paint with a metallic works, but:  it turns the shade significantly brighter, ie turns a red pinkish.  Also, adding the metallic makes the resultant mixture act more as a metallic, so be careful thinning it.  You'll wind up with floating particals.  Good luck, interestin color scheme there.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I never had much luck getting leadbelcher through my airbrush. The metal flecks always clogged the nozzle. If you've never used an airbrush before, I recommend not starting with metallics unless you're using a metallic paint made for airbrushing.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ If you want a pink metallic colour, the best idea for you is to purchase a metallic medium (Vallejo make one) and buy a good quality Pink artists ink. Add a few drops of the ink to the medium until you are happy with the colour and spray away.<br /> <br /> This will hands down give you the best and most consistent results. However, it will prove hard to get it to match to Screamer pink exactly. <br /> <br /> You could always try painting using pink <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(335);'>NMM</span>?<br /> <br /> <i>Edit ~ Also with regards to the mixtures for your Airbrush and Citadel metallics. I echo the comment from someone above saying they have never had much luck with getting them to go through. If you are going to try it, I suggest using a fabric paint seive/strainer before putting it into your airbrush, and possibly a drying retarder as well. Elsewise it clogs like hell.<br /> <br /> Vallejo Model Air metallics are much less hassle and near enough.</i>]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ What you could try doing is mix a bit of your metallic paint with your screamer pink, and see how it turns out. I would try using small amounts of different ratios to see which one you like best, and then move on from there.]]></description>
