Not considering buffing metalizer paints. What's the best paint you use for aluminum components? (landing gear, etc). Ive been using the old faithful testors small botlle aluminum enamel, I tried Testors acrylic (acryl) aluminum (too thin, dont try). Also tryed MM aluminum, and dried up on me.

Me too, for the little detail parts I use the Testors MM Enamel Aluminum with brushes but for painting overall my aircraft models, I use Alclad Aluminum.

Polly Scale makes a fairly decent colection of acrylic metalizers.
