First a silver paint and then a thin yellow layer. But did not like how that turned out after the clear finishing coat. Now I have used a little less shiny gold paint of a silver coat that does not rub off that much. It also still looks nice after the clear coat. I'll finish the Samurai in about two weeks. I give Kaptainmyke the honor to show him off when ready.

Gold and silver can be a real bitch when it comes to paint rub. I hope it turns out well and I can't wait to see the finished work.
