I like the lighter (greenish-silver?) head color. What paint is it?
That is some of cadman's automobile silver powder paint.PM him here for a color chart.I get it by the pound from him at a cost that no one else can match.

That was the top blackish part of my shad gray kiptail.Very cool looking color,I usually just chuck them out,but that one had to be used.
