I used metallic blue and red as a base coat on some Samurai to simulate lacquered armor.

Silver and chrome more than any other metallics.

Silver most frequently. Any really, including Metallic blue green, red, etc.

The only spray paints I use, are primers. Everything else is brush-on. Cheers!

I used a metallic green "hammered" spray paint on some alien spacecraft. I thought the weird pattern it created looks sufficiently "out there" for these organic craft. Haven't used anything like it since, though.

None. I now longer use any spray paints or sealers as the humidity here in central Mississippi is almost always too high. Jim

Tamiya aluminium spray is the best I've used, otherwise I'd brush paint them.
