As for silver ,Jon stocks auto air aluminium base, think that will be what you want.

Hi Andy.
I was probably the only person using paint from rattle cans (spraying the paint into the airbrush cup) so I guess it's hard to compare.
Id say those initial coats with the solvent are better - and obviously I didnt need to thin them, but after that water based win hands down. The way the paint layers and build up is a much smoother finish, also jons white seems to be very solid and after a few good coats even darker colours behind don't show through. As I use vinyl masks mainly, I work with most of the shell unmasked to start with - to that end I have to paint light colours first, which is the opposite to what you'd do with liquid mask. Also I don't have the luxury of most of the shell being covered until its unmasked for painting, so I have to be careful.
Bottom line is - I won't be going back to cans.
Anyone want a shed load of rattle can paints ?
