Hello @Cristian, I've taken Vallejo Model Air and Metal Color, they mix up quite well. First, I've used Aggressor Gray as it is, next I've mixed it 1:1 with Exhaust manifold to get this brownish metal sheen. That was my mistake, as I probably needed less brownish color, for example, Steel, and with less metal paint (like 3 for Aggressor and 1 for Steel). The darkest color is fine - I've used Medium Gunship Grey and Steel 2:1. Also I used Jet Exhaust for nozzles but due to poor details, I didn't find the way how to realistically add effects.

Many thanks Maksim, great ideas for mixing and tips, I've taken notes for my Raptor.
