Masters of customization, I come to you seeking advice. I'm trying to replicate the color of the "silver" plastic used for the FSS crimson guard immortals. Would you just paint it silver and hit with several layers of a matte medium?

I use 1 layer of Light gray paint, 1 layer silver paint, 1 layer clear gloss for silver/metal objects. Use matte clearcoat or spray on dullcoat for a non shiny look instead of the clear gloss.

Have you considered painting the vest and rest of the figure's silver bits all with your personal goto silver?

The thought crossed my mind, but the silver just seems to shiny. And I'm kind of amazed by how my brain knows to interpret it as silver, while I know it's sort of gray.
