Monty Python Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) After having problems with Alclad High Speed Silver I'm looking at trying Xtracolor's offering. So does this have to go on a gloss black base? The problem with the Alclad is more than likely my doing as I have never had a problem with their other paints. Must add that I really like using the brand as well as the pre thinned Mil-Spec paint. Also does the Xtracolor offering have a metallic finish?

mick b Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) I used it on my Sea Hornet some years ago and it didn’t require a black base. It has quite a subtle metallic finish to it and it sprayed very nicely. My poor lighting doesn’t do the colour justice.

Black Knight Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I brush painted it directly on to the plastic of these Meteors The paint fooled me, I thought it was drying too fast and I'd have brush strokes in it but it all evened out ok 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
