A friend of mine has used a metallic paint from a local auto body supply store that looks VERY authentic. I don't recall the name of it, though. Sorry about that. I need to find out, as I have some Philco chassis that are looking pretty rough and could benefit from this treatment. I'll ask him again, and post here...

Early Philco chassis (1928-32) are a flat grey in color, and for those, I use Krylon dark gray primer. Looks quite authentic.
