No trouble for the reply, happy to help !
Seal / Back is to just apply colour behind the other. Generally if you want to use Solvent AND water based paints put the Water Based down last as it won't affect the solvent. If you do it the other way around you're more likely to get a reaction.
Also Chrome needs backing with black to bring the colour out.
Yes I have a lot of photo's of pearlised black but to be honest it does look black where as in the pot and on the actual shell it looks more like a lovely dark metallic grey, a sort of gun metal colour, I even splodged some out on paper and photographed it for you but it comes out too dark in photo's.
If it's absolutely 100% critical you have the right colour I would just buy the tamiya one and spray it into your airbrush pot. I just buy water based paints because I like the colours, I might use them a lot, I might not I just like to have the stock. If you're going to airbrush one shell you are probably going to do a lot more after so I would just get some paints to cover the basics, in that if you buy a black and a silver you can mix your own colour to get the desired shade.
Hope that helps.
