Vallejo Model Air Metallics colour matching help?!

[IronKobra]

Howdy y'all.

Gonna go ahead and try out some of the Vallejo Model air metallics that have all of a sudden grown in popularity! Friend of mine said the one he tried was wonderful stuff.

Anyway I'm looking to get 3 silvers and I need matches for:

- Boltgun Metal
- Chainmail
- Mythril Silver

If anyone can help out that would be great! The vallejo site doesn't have any colour match references on their website for these paints ya see.

- Boltgun Metal = There isn't really a match. There is a darker metallic called simply Black
- Chainmail = Steel
- Mythril Silver = Silver
=Chrome
.

I'd also like to recommend that you invest in a bottle of VMC Black Glaze as this makes a great addition to the Airbrush metallics.
It's a very dark grey against the metallics but does flow nicely, you have to thin it like normal paint but it can add additional depth to the detail in metallics.
I also would recommend a bottle of Metallic Medium to use as an extreme highlight. Used sparingly this can look almost like white metallic highlights.

Actually, boltgun metal's match for vallejo air is called gun, and its awesome!
