I cannot find where i bought it. I think it came our of Washington state, from some sort of distributor of Humbrol stuff. It is "Aluminum 66" AD6056 Metallic according to the label.

Oh... and an acrylic spray at that. Interesting. I always like Humbrol’s take on aluminum. It is a darker, more gray weathered shade. Used it on my F-84 build as the primary color.
