http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net AT minis, and spraying the chassis with a silver metallic seems like a good basis for the rest of the paintjob, however I wasn't too impressed with GW's silver spray can which from what I've seen gives a pretty "rough" finish, ie the metallic flakes look obvious to my eye even after a model has been given a thorough coat. Are there any good alternatives out there? I'm aware Tamiya and Army Painter both do metallic rattlecans, but finding examples of the former has defeated my google-fu and I've had poor experiences with AP cans in the past(though, admittedly, not metallics which I haven't used). I'll happily entertain using non-modelling cans if they go on smooth and without obscuring detail.

I don't need a full-on chromed result that would require fancy rub&buff or Alclad paint, but I'd like a nice smooth and bright silver as my baseline.

No, I don't have nor do I want an airbrush, just to preempt the inevitable evangelist ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762348/10114674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762348/10114674.page GMT
