Here's a quick update - as expected, spray sealing the metallic paper with a matte spray did dull the luster a bit, but it's still there, and still has a nice effect over the normal card. A gloss I think would instead enhance the effect. I was just out of it. I'm starting a build of the MiG-15 in the Aviation section to see how it cuts, folds, and glues. Watch for it.
Going to try it in a HP120c wide format. Supposed to handle heavier stuff, guess theres one way to find out!

This stuff is awesome for my purpose! Great looking cardstock, the paper is ligther than I thought it would be.

The pearl white is awesome, glad you mentioned it!
