Metal Color Dull Aluminium

Metal Color is an innovative range of metallic colors, formulated with aluminum pigments in a water-based formula. The metallic colors selected for this series are the most frequently used by international air forces worldwide, and their exceptionally brilliant finish and reflective quality 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 with an airbrush onto the model or diluted with our Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and dries very quickly, forming a self-leveling and homogeneous paint film of extraordinary resistance, preserving even the smallest detail of the model. It can be mixed directly in the airbrush cup with other colors from the Model Air or Game Air series. Metal Color can also be applied with a brush.

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