And for anyone that has used them…
what is the difference between the buffing and the non buffing… and is sealer a must or is it just better if you do use it?
Kinda curious as to what I should start building up a stock in. I know about Aclads… but that just seems like such a big ordeal with the priming… under painting… etc. The metalizers just seem so much easier to mess with.
Hi Ron, the Meatalizer series look really great, the only problem is that if you don’t use the sealer, or a clear coat of some kind, they are delicate, and come iff right on your hands. They do not tolerate handling. The difference between buffing and non buffing, buffing can be buffed with a soft cloth to a high shine or any where in between, non buffing, what you see is what you get. Hope this helps.

I prefer Alclad.
I prefer Alclad as well. Spray a coat of gloss black, spray the Alcald color(s) of choice, and voila, you’re done. Dries fast, too. You can handle the model without haviing the color come off on your fingers. - Ed
Ron,
I use almost all of the Metalizer color range and find them very good - the buffing ones can give a pretty good shine. They’re really very delicate and don’t stand up to handling very well - and then if you put the sealer over the polished paint, it dulls it something chronic. I use them in areas where fingers won’t cause any mayhem. I also find they airbrush much better than hand brush.

Thanks for all these answers guys. I just ordered almost every metalizer they had and now waiting on them to get to my house in about 5 days, 
I talked to midnight over yahoo for awhile last night also. I have never used any kind of odd paint like this before so was very curious.
I think right now I will use metalizers for everything… then if something big comes up I might try a chrome aclad or something, 
reat stuff! lacquer based. buffing needs a gentle rub when finished painting to bring out the lustre. Non buffing does not.
