Vallejo's are acrylic, right? I normally only spray acrylics through my brush, so I think that Alclad is not an option for me.

Actually, for items this small, hand brushing may be perfectly adequate. I think what I'll try is this: I'll paint them first in Vallejo brass, and then buff them with some SnJ powder. I might try different colors of powder to see which one looks best combined with the brass paint, and which gives the best scale effect.

Thanks again for all your help, guys,
Doug
