I'm no expert, but that bike seems to be competition winning level. What metallics do you use. I've always been a fan of Alclad, but they are difficult to get these days.

[JayCee]

An excellent model. Really first class.

For this model, None.

The only paint is the black bits.

MFH kits are mostly made from ‘white metal’ which covers a multitude of sins. Theirs is quite hard, a bit like Britannia metal, so I experimented with how many different finishes I could get with it, ranging from mirror finish (the fuel tank) to dull casting (crankcase) and about 6 finishes in between. Believe it or not all the metal on that model is EXACTLY the same stuff, just treated differently with polishing, pigments, filters and washes.

It’s also difficult to paint. So called etching primers mostly don’t, and even then only on ferrous metals. I tried everything with this - at least 10 different ones and they all chipped looking at it. In the end MR Metal primer was the only thing that worked. As well as a stupid name it’s really weird stuff in as much as it’s clear for some reason? A primer. Clear, don’t get it. Works though.
