Frequently asked
What is the closest equivalent to Revell Silver?
The closest same-finish match is The Army Painter Mithril at 97% color similarity.
What finish is Silver?
Silver is a metallic paint with a silver tone and a reflective finish. Because the shine comes from metal flake, a flat paint can match the color and still be wrong for the job, which is why cross-finish matches here are references rather than swaps.
What do I highlight and shade Silver with?
Shade Silver with Aluminium in the same Revell range. For highlights, mix in a lighter tone or move to a brighter paint in the lane.
