Vallejo has published a photo of plastic spoons painted with their new line of metal paint colours. These paints definitely look to be worth a try.

That's quite an advertisement. The paints look to have a nice sheen to them.

Are they laquers? Vallejo's metallic from the Model Air rnage have been around for about a decade and are agreed to quite fantastic.

Really good news for me and probably others, the new Vallejo Metal Color paints are water-based acrylics:

I was able to see these in actions at IPMS nationals this year. They seem to be very good paints and have great coverage.
