Cheers Dan.
Silver in post 430 is simply a pearl Createx silver. It's very, very translucent and I find a few nice thin coats, then backed with white or black depending if you want a light or darker silver. I stopped using chrome as it does lift - it's a bloody nightmare !
I bought some of Jon's (at RCS's) chrome (solvent based) but have not used it yet - i'm scared of chrome as i've had it lift too. Also other paint does not seem to adhere to the chrome.
With the standard pearl silver - it's fine - no such problems.
Big gun for the liquid mask is 0,5 - thinned very slightly, maybe 10 parts liquid mask to 1 part water. Sprays bloody lovely, but the pressure needs to be 40 - 50 psi on the compressor.
With the paints I spray around 20psi, sometimes a bit lowers for fine details.
I use one of Jon's airbrushes for most of the detail work and have a cheap gun at hand loaded with white and one with black normally to back other colours.
Jon's brush is around £95 but it sprays lovely, don't need to thin the Createx / Fascolour paints unless I want to and it sprays the pearls great too.
