For those that have used the metalizer paints from Testors. I use the sealer after I airbrush it on, but do I need to use it if I used the metalizer in a rattle can? Or is it a part of the paint vehicle in that instance.

Tim, if i remember corectly it would be wise to use the sealer, I've used it on a lot of differnet types of paint even the metalizers, the sealer gives all things a nice semi-gloss finish!!! So I recommend it for sealing the sray paint as well!!! stug

Airbrush Metalizer, Buff after drying with Cotton ball, then sealer. Sometime I experience decals not sticking to metalizer if not sealed
