I wish it looked more like the cap
The Testors bronze lacquer was easy to use and covered quite well, however the flake is much too heavy and resulted in a grainy matte finish. I recommend it with those caveats.
Just my experience - not a recommendation
I was really curious about the new Testors claim that their Extreme Lacquers were a sealer, primer and paint, all in one application. If I could dispense with priming, that would save time and money. I airbrushed Testors Bronze on Revell's new Del Rio wagon, after having decanted it, and I was impressed at how beautiful and smooth it looked. Then, as I always do, I airbrushed Rustoleum's gloss clear lacquer over it, starting with a mist coat and finishing with a wet coat. The mist coat did not give any hint at the disaster that awaited. But after allowing a couple minutes for the mist coat to set up, I started the wet coat, and some kind of reaction started. I noticed one area where the paint seemed to be bubbling up, and other areas where the bronze seemed to be losing it's metallic look. I kept applying more wet coats in the hope that it would correct itself and start to look like glossy metallic. Unfortunately, the entire model started losing its metallic look and I was left with what could only be described as a metallic sludge. Needless to say, the whole thing went into an alcohol bath. So, it could be that Testors designed this product to only be compatible with their own one-coat lacquer finish, and if that's the case, my entire premise about saving money by eliminating a primer went right out the window. My chosen lacquer finish costs about $.50 per ounce, whereas the Testors product costs about $3 per ounce. Oh, and by the way, Extreme isn't a very good sealer, either. The roof of the model has a very distinctly flawed area, that Testors sealer did noting to hide.
Looks wild on a Wildcat
Testors 1847 Bronze comes out somewhere between Harvest Gold and Burnished Saddle Poly, two Buick colors from 1970. It has a fairly aggressive metallic sheen that could stand a good 1000+ grit sanding before topcoating, although I like the out-of-the-can sparkle from this paint. Another great retro '70's color!
