Metal Color Dark Aluminium

Metal Color is an innovative range of metallic colours, formulated with aluminium pigments in a water-based formula. The metallic colours selected for this series are those most frequently used by international air forces worldwide, and their exceptionally shiny finish and reflective properties allow the modeler to use Metal Color for the entire painting process, without having to resort to solvent-based enamels or lacquers. Metal Color can be applied directly to the model with an airbrush or diluted with our Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and dries very quickly, forming a self-levelling and homogeneous paint film of exceptional resistance, while preserving even the smallest detail of the model. Can be mixed directly in the airbrush cup with other colours from the Model Air or Game Air series. Metal Color can also be applied with a brush.

For airbrushing, compressor settings of approx. 15 - 20 PSI or 0.5 to 1 kg are recommended. For optimal maintenance of the airbrush, we recommend using Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner. For fuselages and components of aircraft models, it is recommended to first apply a base of glossy black primer to enhance the unique properties of the aluminium surface. When masking procedures: Metal Color dries very quickly, but it is advisable to wait 12 hours after application before proceeding with the masking process.
