Need help with Silver Paint

well guys im am currently looking for a good silver paint for my jaguar xj220, i have tried so many paints but none has worked for me yet, ive tried tamiya gloss aluminum and i absoolutley hate the stuff, ive tried testors german silver metallic, duplicolor ultra silver, and some plastikote argent silver paint(which looks good but only in sunlight) i am looking for a silver paint preferably spray can, i want the paint to look good not only in the sun but inside as well, something very metallic but fine as well, has anyone tried tamiya micah silver(lacquer)?if so can you tell me about it and possibly give me a link to a model in that color? any suggestions are welcome, thx for the help, oh yea why are duplicolor paints so damn sensitive to humidity? i get little patches of flat paint(which is supposed to be glossy) on my work sometimes, and i cant figure out what causing it

i love my new avatar btw

You wrote one long run-on sentence with 161 words, only commas and no capitalisation. Did you really expect everyone to read it?

Re: Need help with Silver Paint

I read like half of it. lol...I just sprayed a Celica XX with Testors Bright Platinum Metallic from Plymouth. Its the 2 part system. I primed of course It's a beautiful color. Silvers are difficult to get right.

But hey, if you live in the states. If your willing to go another color, Cobra Colors has an Aston Martin dark green that would look killer on that car. Sorry, I don't usually paint cars the way they are suppost to be. Just a suggestion

No, but if you want people to pay attention and/or take you seriously you could at least make an attempt. Whether or not it's in the rules, it works. A lot of people here don't read, speak, or write English as their primary language; yet they manage to communicate better and often they cannot understand internet slanguage. Just out of respect for that alone is enough for me.

What difference does that make. If you expect to communicate with people in any format using proper english and grammar is a must. If you wish to appear illiterate then continue to post nonesense.
