I went to my LHS today to get a few cans of Tamiya colour for my R32 kit. The paints I needed were Chrome Silver, Metallic Grey and Dark Sea Grey. The guy at the hobby shop seemed to think that Tamiya didnt make any of these colours anymore. I was wondering what I could use as a replacement for these colours :bloated:

I think its just the hobby shop, the guys know SWEET F@#K ALL about model cars and paints. If they didnt have such good kits and supplies I wouldnt shop there.

Model Masters Chrome Silver is actually better than X-11 Chrome Silver (looks a lot more like chrome!) and Metallic Grey can be substituted for with a good Magnesium metalizer or paint (Testors should make an enamel Model Master Magnesium)..
