Personally I only used Tamiya/Gunze/Valjero w/ the airgun so can't say for sure.
I'd say you will need to experiment to see what's the best way to mix so they can stick on the primed surface.

For gold and silver I'd stick with Lacquer based if I can...

mechapunk: seems like it. a far cry when it was a fresh board in 2001. we started with just Malvin,me, omni x, and oliver. then it rose to about a hundred members, lurkers and the like. now it is a Ghost town. Oct 2, 2014 19:49:27 GMT 8
