Gun barrels and dark metal fittings are what AK483 Xtreme Metal Gun Metal is for, a 30 ml metallic lacquer. Its gun metal colour brings a grey-black metallic character while retaining the high sheen associated with Xtreme Metal. The completed finish leaves the underlying plastic unharmed while preserving its metallic appearance.
Priming beforehand is unnecessary.
Coverage is ultra-high.
The dried colour resists masking and subsequent weathering work.
Varnishing does not reduce its glossiness.
Made 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.
