Paint hue comparison - Anybody have pics of kits painted with Tamiya TS-94 (Metallic Grey) and TS-42 (Light Gunmetal)?

[Monty]

There's not a LHS within 100 miles of me, so I have to rely on pics from the internet to get an idea of what to expect from a given color.  These two colors look great to me, but I'd like to see builds with them side by side so I can see the difference.

If possible, outside shots might even be better.

TIA for all helpful replies.

I don't have any but saw a video of a build Andy did at Andy's Hobby Shop YT channel and the Light Gunmetal was one of the best silver colors I have seen.  I have a can at home and need to find a kit to use it on.  Saw another YT video recently with a Zero Paints silver that looked equally as good but different.

Perfect example ! 

TS-42 is as close to GA4 Light Gunmetal ( Winchester Grey on Plymouth ) as one can get in an off-the-shelf aerosol .

Beautiful 'WS23U1' , by the way !

That Charger looks great!! Had to look twice to see it was a model. I bought a tin of the TS 42 to paint a Porsche, wasn't sure it would be right. Will go ahead now!!!

Check it out at 16:42 if it doesn't automatically start there.  It looks lighter on the video.. almost looks like chrome when he starts turning it.
