Is it possible to mix the Metalizer with each other?

Hmmmn ! ,

Don't really know ! But on the other hand , I really can't see why you could'nt. I mix their other paints on a regular basis . Given that all of the metallizers are laquer based , it should give you a diffrent color , but no other problems as far as that goes.

Is it possible to mix the Metalizer with each other?

If you're talking about mixing Testors Metalizers with other brands, I'd say "not a good idea" so you don't get a congealed mess of paint clogging your airbrush if you have an adverse reaction, but mixing various colors within the same line is fine.

I routinely mix Metalizer brass with various other colors of Metalizer to simulate the plating on master cylinder boosters and carburetors. The buffing varieties should only be mixed with other buffing varieties if you intend to buff the finished product, but if you'll be leaving it as-sprayed then it doesn't matter so much as it will be mostly used as a tint. Mixing these colors is a great way to add different tones to metallic surfaces and make them stand out. I've never had a problem mixing these paints and often use an eyedropper to put a few drops of different color in with remnants in my airbrush's color cup to add just enough tint to get some variety on surfaces meant to represent dissimilar metals side by side. Some people do this to get blended "heat stains" on exhausts that are more realistic than just overcoating with the second color.

I suspect you could mix various colors from Alclad's line as well.
