Metal Color is the innovative range of metallic colors with a
water-based formulation, which uses aluminium pigments in its
production. The Metal Color range offers a wide range of shades in order
to imitate the metallic finish of aircraft of all types and eras. Of
exceptional brightness and extraordinary power of reflection, it allows
the modeler to carry out the full range of painting techniques without
the need to resort to enamels and lacquers. It can be applied directly
to the model using an airbrush or diluted with our Airbrush Thinner or
Flow Improver. Metal Color dries very quickly, maintaining the smallest
details present on the model and forming a homogeneous and self-leveling
layer of extraordinary resistance a few hours after application. Metal
Color can be tinted directly in the airbrush cup using colors from the
Model Air or Game Air ranges. It can also be applied with a brush.
Recommended compressor settings for our colors are around 15-20 Psi or
0.5-1 kg. It is advisable, in the case of airframes and aircraft model
components, to apply Gloss Black Primer, available in 60 ml/2.02 fl oz
bottles (ref. 73.660) and 200 ml/6.76 fl oz (ref. 74.660) with hinge cap
and dropper, to enhance the special characteristics of the aluminium
shades. Metal Color dries very quickly, but it is advisable to wait 12
hours after application before applying any paint masks. Also available
is Gloss Metal Varnish in 60 ml/2.02 fl oz bottles (ref. 26.657) with
hinged cap and dropper. For proper maintenance of the airbrush, we
recommend using Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner.
