Hi Friends,
I'm starting to paint Polish Figure for a project in 28mm: "Grunwald 1410".
I'm thinking to use Italian Rules IMPETUS and figures from range of Front Rank, Perry, Crusader (ex Corvus Belli) and, I hope, NEW TESTUDO in the future…!
Now I've some Knights of Front Rank that I'll use for Polish Knights.
I've to decide how paint the plate armour.
What do you suggest? Is it correct paint classical metal armour or is it more correct "white metal armour"?
Thanks for help and any other suggestions is good for me.

White harness is the term given to the bright shiney steel armour. I have not seen any illustrations of Polish armours being anything other than unpainted metal.
So paint silver darkened with gunmetal.

Check this tread. There are lots of pictures of Polish armour from the Grunwald periode.
