I will be using this on ever Gundam frame that I want a nice dark metal. The Alclad gun metal is to black and some others are way to silver. As Goldilocks would say This one is just right. It lays down super smooth as do all metalizers. The buffing qualities make it even more perfect. Take the pantyhose hat off your head and give the paint a nice rub. It will lighten (shiny) up the parts you can get to and raised stuff while leaving what would be the natural shadows a bit darker. My PG MKII will be going through a couple (or more) cans. You do need to be careful with these and not scratch them. The coat applied is so thin it is almost magic. Clear coating them sort of takes away the over all look but is a good Idea if you are going to be posing a lot.
