Mike recommended it - I have to say it's nice paint.

Ah, it’s in their metal color line… :hmm: I’ll have a look for some next trip that I make up to Andy’s Hobby HQ… that shop carries that line.

I really like the Vallejo Metal Colors. If you want to use a acrylic metal color, they're the way to go.
