Mr. Metal.. anyone used?

So... i'm looking for a good metalizer..

anyone anyone have any thoughts on Mr. Metal Color?
Grainy? Smooth?

They have some colors Alclad2 doesn't, so it's like my only choice, otherwise i will need to use Grainy Tamiya Acrylics

I've used there chrome silver but only by brush and its not bad, seems to go really well over black, but looks more like stainless steel though, I think it would work well through an airbrush.

I've used their buffing iron color for brake discs, and it's incredible stuff. Very realistic. Goes on dead flat, buffs out looking just like a brake disc.

I honestly can't say if the other colors are buffing or not, I only got the iron specifically for brake rotors. Alclad is the best bet, it has a better finish than Testors Metalizers.
