Hi, anyone know what paint gives the most accurate finish for the gun metal parts i.e. the thompson and spas 12 parts? I've already sourced the brown bess for the main casing.

Saw this thread so thought I would add some pics of one I built about five or six years ago, I am no longer the owner as I sold it on pretty much as soon as it was completed.
Here's mine-

I still need to take some finals "beauty shots" of the thing now that it's all done.

I just finished tweaking my Live Fire PR today. Some of the mag well plate screws pulled out of the HCG shrouds. I oversize drilled the holes and put in brass inserts. Nice and steady. I also added an internal brace to clamp the two shells together. Now the mag plates are purely cosmetic.

IMHO the most accurate finish is achieved with good old flat black paint. The end result is almost dark gray, like blued steel. For my own PR I used Tremclad professional paint, which is really tough to boot. Here it is:

That is a nice finish, a really clean and tidy job, the only issue I'll have of buying that brand of paint is that it will be damn near impossible to find here in Sweden and to import it would probably cost me an arm and a leg. I'll pop over to the paint shop later though and see if they can get it in, thanks for the suggestion mate, I'm going to bear that one in mind.

I totally understand, since you're in Sweden and all. 
Like I said, any professional flat black paint will do; I used Tremclad because it's the Canadian equivalent of Rust-oleum up here! So yeah, you have to improvise a little. But the Tremclad stuff is only the best stuff I could come up with locally; do a bit of research and I'm sure you'll find the equivalent near you that won't cost you an arm and a leg to import.

I've actually found the suitable Rustoleum paint I needed, I'm waiting for it to arrive at the store. Unfortunately, fixing that problem has led way to another one, I don't like the finish on the brown color I found, in fact I think it's fair to say I hate it So I need once again to look for a decent paint for that, I'm actually open to an olive drab finish now having seen some of the beauties on here. I usually use Humbrol paints, do you think the 155 olive drab would be a good choice or is there a much better alternative?
