Depending on what your thinking of spraying I can recommend Mr Color Super Metallic thinned with Mr Color Leveling Thinner that's what I mostly use as a great base then your choice of the Alclad II's

AK Extreme Metal for me, or Humbrol enamels, depends on the subject.

I use both AK Xtreme Metal and Alclad II, I like both, however, I think that AK's product might be a little more durable and forgiving than Alclad.
