Title: best metallic paint
Post by: Wilgut Spleens on April 13, 2021, 09:18:58 AM

I have been using various brands of paint over the years an now have quite a wide collection. My white metallic paints are in need of replacinfg , currently they are all from GW but I am not entirely happy with them . I use Wargames Foundry Gold which is ok if well mixed but does not have a high contrast betwen the darkest and lightest shades. What do  you guys reccomend, where shall I replenish silver steel gun metal?  Vallejo, Army Painterr? What do you all think?

For 'white' metals, Army painter and CdA
For 'yellow' metals, Vallejo - both model colour for 'duller' tones and game colour for brighter ones
The Scalecolor ones are also very good.
