I think you can see the difference in colour and tone. The metal colour is a lot thinner than the other one and as a different smell but as you can see it covers a lot better and looks a lot brighter.

And here's the Sabre with its nice and shiny black coat on

I've never tried vallejo paints at all interested in using the metal finish, I fancy doing another shelby cobra but with a chrome finish to it!


Be interesting to see how shiny it looks. Looking great so far, I'm going to have to get a sabre myself now!


One other thing, is there any restrictions with getting these paints via mail order, just that royal mail seem a bit strange about what they deliver!

I got mine from John in the SM shop and I'm sure he uses Royal Mail so should be no problems in getting them through the post Dave

Thanks guy's

Well now I have one very shiny Sabre. I'm going to add some different colours to some of the panels just to break it up a little, but that can wait until tomorrow to give the silver time to cure.

I've been looking through this thread and the Sabre is coming along really well.


I can definitely see the difference between the 2 metallic surface's the new colour has a lot more depth to it.


Anyway keep up the good work.
