Mr Hobby metallics

[Aiteal]

I saw these mentioned recently and had a look at the range and they looked interesting, sadly I cant seem to find a supplier that ships to here aside from an ebay one in Hong Kong.
Has anyone had any experience with them?
I'm thinking of using the shinier chrome metallics as a base for glazes to paint an Earl of Harkness model I have.

Mr. Hobby products are interesting. They're usually not quite what they're labeled. Their acrylics, for example, are technically lacquer based not water based (although you can thin and clean up with water). But ideally, you use their thinners and other axillary products. I've not used their metallics, but most of their stuff is high quality.

Cool, the lacquer thing is what interests me, Ive read of people burnishing the paint to give it extra shine.

Testors has a burnishing paint too. But that can only be applied to plastic and through an airbrush. I think the line is called metallizer.
