A tip I just learned. If you spray over black. It takes several coats. Everything I've painted before was already, the wrong shade of silver. Considering how small these cans are Id recommend painting the part with a compatible generic silver first. When I did that one coat covers and you can conserve the Testors.

Hey JBauer,
thanks for the testors paint idea. I am getting prepped to do this project myself and just had a few questions about the paint.
For all the pieces you did, did you use only 1 of those small testors spray can? Also, do you feel that, that pain matches the arctic silver color?
Thanks!

I'm not sure about whether it matches Artic silver or not. I dont have anything to compare it to. It's a match for the factory painted glove box handle and the inside door handles. I think I used 4 cans. Make sure you place them in warm water before using bring the metalic out.
