Can anyone advice if my understanding is correct.
I paint silver coat first on a plastic surface than I paint over the silver coat with clear dark blue coat on top of it, I will be able to get a metallic like dark blue finish?
I am thinking of doing a metallic dark blue titan finish for my Hi Nu.

QUOTE(kerorokatak @ Aug 6 2013, 02:46 PM) Correct... but if u want your silver more bling-bling then can apply a layer of black before apply silver color... Oh ok thanks bro.. so its black > silver > clear color. Thanks for advice.. maybe I'll take a spare plastic to test. =)

QUOTE(General_Nic @ Aug 6 2013, 07:49 PM) the silver will shine through, but it's Candy Colour finish, it's like mirror behind coloured glass real metallic silver will have silver particles in it, hence shinier, will be like metallic paint on cars Tamiya Undergroundz @ 1U if you are living around Klang Valley or you can order online from local sellers  thanks bro.. i don't intend to have it super shiny.. I intend to have a white silver as base.. Can you advice does those clear color paint require any thinner or I just paint them over without adding any thinner.. sorry noob question.. since the paint seem different from normal paint texture I used..

I hope I wouldn't mess up the painting.. so far I have used thinner to mix.. however first time using clear color paint.
