One question, how would you recommend achieving the DGM color? I bought some paint that looked to be a good match but i think brushing it on will kill the final product. Would you recommend a base and finishing coat with spray paint instead?
A member on my modelling forum suggested (after I had figured out the Dark Blue Mica doesn't quite work) to prime, then coat with gloss aluminum (TS-17) and then do the body paint. I'll try that the next go-round.

Once the dark blue mica finally toned down the blue, it looks pretty good, just a bit too dark and not glossy enough.
