High sheen is central to AK474 Xtreme Metal Bronze, a metallic lacquer for giving scale models a bronze colour. The sheen is part of the applied finish, so the bronze coat supplies both the colour and its metallic surface character. This 30 ml paint is formulated specifically for modellers, and it is a lacquer rather than an acrylic.
The completed lacquer finish remains resistant to weathering.
No primer is required beneath the bronze coat.
Packed as a single colour.
Produced in Spain.

Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between a paint and a wash?+
Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.
Can I use these paints in an airbrush?+
Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.
Do I need a primer?+
Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
