Metal Color Semi Matt Aluminium

Metal Color is an innovative range of metallic paints, formulated with aluminium 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 modeller to use Metal Color for the entire painting process without resorting 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 extraordinary resistance, while preserving even the smallest detail of the model. It can be mixed directly in the airbrush cup with other Model Air or Game Air series colors. Metal Color can also be applied with a brush.

For the airbrushing process, 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 aluminium 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.
