Realistic mate aluminium paint for plastic

Hi guys, I was wondering, I'm trying to find a paint that would match my sandblasted rough aluminium upper metal assembly. I can't find a mate aluminium paint for plastic, where could I look? Thx

Try Krylon's brushed metallic satin nickel spray paint.

If it dries too bright or shiny, knock it down with some super fine grit sand paper or steel wool

+1

The Krylon paints are your best bet and the majority of them are gun metal spec paints and are best able to seal to plastic or metals than most other paints. They don't chip or wear out easily either.

Try a matte clear coat on top of regular silver.

Alclaid paints.

They are expensive, but they only make metal finish paints.

You need a basic airbrush to apply, and a matte clear coat as the paint is very fragile.
