After trying for months, my conclusion is that the best natural metal finish is: Alclad. But it will be better if you use Alclad gloss black as a base.   I just thin the Black Base using lacquer thinner and it instantly shines when it touches the plastic.   Just let it dry for 2 or 3 hours and you can start to apply Alclad Paint.  For this model I used Chrome and Polished Aluminum.  For different panel colors, I used Tamiya malt Aluminum in different shades.  Decals are from Argentinean company called AEROCALCAS, they are very high quality decals and easily works with any decal setting solution. 

I hope you enjoy it !
