Another forum with a few possible answers.
the Tamiya paint then add metallic silver may be the easiest

Ya Dave looked at Hiroboy there shipping was more than the cost of product , and I Live in the UK , they seem to have a policy that paint can not be delivered by RM , I have all kinds of paint delivered by the RM, so not sure what they got going on, But thanks for the advise

Halfords don't seem to list it but a motor factor might be able to get it for you.

Mike, some classes of goods are actually not allowed, by law, into the postal stream. They cannot, therefore, be delivered by RM. The vendor has to use a trained courier. Paint using a flammable solvent, such as hiroboy lacquer, is one of those items.

Makes since I should have thought the flammable solvent, most paints I use are not Thanks

How much would the delivery to Manchester cost, just wondering. Couldn't it pay off to just order more in one go?

Worth checking, but if you do go down the Zero paints route, I seem to remember that Zero colours are not a gloss paint, and require a gloss varnish finishing coat. That would be two bottles in the order. As an aside, I’ve found the zero gloss varnish superb when I’ve used it.
