Metallic Silver or Flat Aluminum?
Metallic Silver 1146TT and Testors Flat Aluminum 1181TT are both 1/4 oz enamels, but Flat Aluminum is specified as flat. Choose the named color and finish your model needs; a silver or aluminum appearance in a photograph is not enough to identify the correct bottle.
Before painting the model
Use the bottle label for preparation, thinning and application on your chosen material. A small test on spare material lets you judge the color and finish before painting a finished model.
