Hi

I started transforming a Mallet Uintah LGB into a Mallet Sumpter Valley. I wonder which kind of paint I can use for the boiler, knowing I'm targeting this kind of result :

I found this picture on the site of an american kitbasher who does a pretty good job.

I already tried gun metal Humbrol, but it's not dark enough. Your advice will be welcomed.

Hi J P

Humbrol if hand painting can be mixed with and darker metalic humbrol colour or have you tried looking at a car paint in a spray can most accessoriy car shops will have a rack of different shades and the finish is much better than painting by hand
