Hi all,

Does anyone have an old can of Boltgun Metal spray they'd like to sell? I have just acquired a second Monolith and want to match the colour scheme of my other one but need some more spray.

Alternatively, has anyone come across any dark metallic sprays from other ranges (Plastikote, for example)?

Dupli graphite is good metallic, but it's an automotive paint and looks like a very dark shiney silver, makes car mag wheels look SIICK AAZ BEEY!!

Not super cheap either, you could try some dulux spray paint, but their silver is quite bright I think.

How would you compare th graphite with Boltgun Metal? Darker or lighter? Because the BG Metal spray is darker than the pot (which I like), so I'm looking for something similar so I can then use BG metal from the pot to highlight edges.

I'd say it's darker than boltgun metal, it is intended to look like pencil graphite on paper pretty much. So I'd say it's a fair bit darker.

Awesome, sounds perfect. The brand name is Dupli? Haven't come across it before. Who sells it?

It's not all that common over here I guess;

Just be sure to spray it from a good distance so it doesn't orange peel as it's automotive grade stuff and would take weeks of soaking to remove.
