This review is from : Caran d'Ache Fancolor Metallic Colored Pencil Kit (6 Colors)
Excellent quality but not really "metallic" . . . . These are nice drawing pencils, but they are not metallic in any immediately obvious way, so I am not certain to what "Metallic" actually refers . . .
I thought that they would have lead that looked like metal, perhaps with some tiny metal flakes, but they look pretty much the same as the Prismacolor Premier Softcore and Premier Verithin color pencils, which I really like . . .
For reference, what I wanted was silver and gold metal "stuff", so after trying these "metallic colored pencils" and not being able to see anything obviously metallic I did a bit more searching and recalled that there are labeling pens that have an ink like Testors metallic paint, which is the look I want, so I ordered a few sets of Sanford Oil-Based Gold and Markers, which work very nicely . . .
Sharpie Oil-Based Fine Point Paint Markers, 1 Gold & 1 Silver Marker(37368)
Sharpie Oil-Based Extra Fine Point Paint Markers, 1 Gold and 1 Silver Marker (30588PP)
The Sharpie Oil-Based Gold and Silver Markers are different from drawing pencils, and since they are oil-based you need to allow time for drying, but this is the look I want . . .
Another strategy is to get the Testors All-Purpose Gloss Enamel 8 Color Paint Set (SKU# 9146X), which has both gold and silver enamel, although the Amazon.com listings for the kit only show 7 colors when there actually are 8 colors and a bottle of thinner. The TCP Global kit is the correct one, but finding it via searching Amazon.com is not so easy, so you have to select one from another source and then put the TCP Global kit in your shopping cart to get the correct link where you can see the photograph that matches the kit at the Testors Paint website . . .
Testors Promotional Paint Kit
Testors also makes acrylic paints in metallic colors, so if water-based works better, then try acrylic . . .
I like Testors metallic paints (gold and silver, specifically), because they have a soft, distinctly metallic lustre . . .
The Caran d'Ache Fancolor Metallic Colored Pencil Kit is nice, and it is professional quality, so I will use it for drawing but not for this specific type of metallic enhancing . . .
