Yet another one of my painting questions. I am wondering which, in your guys/gals experiences, are the best metallic paints? There may be no one answer for this, but in any case what are the pros and cons of each brand metallics? Thanks.

Don't know the pros and cons, but....

I've tried Vallejo, P3 and Citadel, and IMO Citadel's metallics are easily the best. 8)

I've used Vallejo, Foundry, P3 and GW. I like GW's metallics the best for coverage and color. I still use some of Foundry's stuff for a brass look though.

I quite like the metallics from the Tamiya paint range actually. I've only used GW metallics other than them, and really use a bit of both on my models.

As most have said, GW's are actually very good. I'd probably stick with them. :)
