Marty, the best and easiest way to check which one you'd prefer on your project, is to shoot some of each on plastic spoons.....that way you can compare each one, and, in buying a cheap bag of such spoons at a dollar store, you have them in stock for testing all your sprays.....just a thought...the Ace......oh, lastly, if the paint you choose is a true candy, you will need to first spray your build with either silver, gold, or copper as base.....

Thanks Ace,

i got all that -i'm sure you beern building a long time-55 years for me. .I do the spoons and test since i still have approx. 600 aerosol cans left.What i was just wondering was if somebody may have tried these colors and knew the difference.

Thank you so much for your help-I appreciate you helping. I also do some custom painting for a   couple other forum modelers and some resto work.

Anything i can help you with please let me know-also if you're looking for anything please let me know-i'd be glad to help

THANKS AGAIN

Maybe these pics can help.
