Metal Color Exhaust Manifold

Metal Color is an innovative range of metallic paints formulated with aluminum pigments in a water-based formula. The metallic colors selected for this series are those most commonly used by international air forces worldwide, and their exceptionally shiny surface and reflectivity 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 thinned with our Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and dries very quickly, forming a self-leveling and homogeneous paint film of exceptional 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 approx. 15 - 20 PSI or 0.5 to 1 kg are recommended. For optimal airbrush maintenance, 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 highlight the unique properties of the aluminum surface. For masking procedures: Metal Color dries very quickly, but it is advisable to wait 12 hours after application before proceeding with the masking process.
