I need to paint some Centurion Mk.III shell casings,can any one help me out with a good match? I know that Vallejo makes "brass",but of course I don't have it So either a Vallejo or Tamiya mix would be good.Thanks,Jeff T.

Your local hardware store or Walmart should carry gold and/or brass spray paint. It has a high gloss cap. Prime the rounds, then hit them with the spray paint. Works on all media.
