TS-30 isn't a good body color, for a good silver color use TS-17 Gloss Aluminum. TS-30 provides a good base for TS-50 and some other of Tamiya's more translucent paints.

TS-30 Silver leaf is for a bare metal look not a painted silver car body. Use TS-17 Gloss Aluminum for bodies. T ake a look at a real car and you will see the difference. This Peugeot was done in TS-17

I'm not using for the car body, but for the wheels. I want to have a sliver-plated look. So which of the two, TS-17 or TS-30 would be better?
