Sir Coates Zilver

This silver flows off the brush with a consistency that's honestly perfect for both base coating and highlighting, and it layers beautifully without turning chalky. I've used a lot of metallics over the years, and the pigment density here means one careful coat actually covers.

The coverage on this silver is incredible—one thin coat over black primer gives a smooth, opaque finish that saves so much time. The consistency is perfect straight from the pot, not too runny or thick. Really happy with how it behaves on the brush.

The pigment load on this is ridiculous for the price point, one coat got me a solid base where I'd normally need three with other brands. It's also the smoothest brush feel I've had from a hobby paint, almost like it was formulated with a wet palette in mind.
