Well here is the first tutorial. For my tutorials I will be trying to explain as simple as possible and do them about things that I don't see to much online.
And now, for the main event. How to work with Testor's Metal Flake enamels.
The first thing you want to do is turn you pieces you are working with into a fancy goldfish. And by that i mean. mask off anything you don't want paint getting on.
Next is the decision time and probably testing time. The Testor's metal flake colors are very susceptible to the color that you paint them over. If do it over white they will be very bright and if you do like I did in the second image and paint them over a light/medium blue they will be darker,and quite a bit for that matter.
They almost work like they are transparent colors. They are pretty thin out of the bottle so you won't need to thin them much. You want to go over your parts in many layers. This will give you a smoother look. Also make sure to get the coats even because any bit of fluctuation will end up showing in the finished part. After that put on a coat of clear (what ever you use). I use the Pledge Tile and Vinyl floor finish with Future care.(straight into the airbrush.).
The finished Product looks like this.
