                        Again, I know this has been talked about alot, but can you guys give me some link to articles, tips etc on this? I'm planning to use MM Metalizers and while I'm currently confident I know what I need to do it, I want to be sure. Thanks in advance.

                        Not me... I don't even know what you're talking about! Tongue [:P] I figure you're trying to go for a Natural Metal Finish (NMF) with a Model Master Metalizer, correct? If this is the case, then i am utterly dumbfounded, though i would like to know more about this since i have a few planes that need to be finished in natural metal... Smile [:)]
                        Sorry i can't be of any more help! Big Smile [:D]

                        MM Metalizers are easy to use they are just like normal paint. Make sure that you have a good surface for your to stick to (so primer). Iam assume that you want to do an entire plane in metalizers. You just spray it on let dry for about 12-24hr then take a cotton ball and buff till you get your desired shine you make want to only buff in places that would have a shine and leave the correct places dull. Be sure to buy the buffing metalizer not the non-buffing then when your done with your model spray it with metalizer sealer before you put on your decals (least thats what I do because iam afraid of it eating the decals not sure bout that though).Big Smile [:D]

                        Good luck.

                        I've read articles but , I have no actual hands on experience.
                        All of the articles have suggested using both buffable and non-buffable together. This will help to enhance different panels also.

                        That's my plan. A majority of the aircraft will be painted with the buffing paint. Then I'll use the non-buffer to highlight some panels.
