What color do you use under your Gundam armor?

Hi all-
I'm a ways into my first MG kit and am heavily debating the color to shoot on the mechanicals under the armor- what is seen that is. I've seen FF use a dark gray primer and shoot some Alclad Steel over the top- looks good. What about eveyone else? Creative license? Thanks for the suggestions-
regards,
armorman

Gray drybrushed with silver rub-n-buff works nice too as does various shades of gray with blues or browns mixed in. Tamiya Gunmetal or Gunmetal + Silver works nice too.

Rust is beautiful.

Thanks FF- that was the answer I was looking for. Makes it easier that I have Gunmetal and silver.
