AK454 True Metal Copper supplies 20 ml of coloured wax for producing a metallic finish on scale models. Lay it down with a brush, work it with a fingertip or transfer it using a cotton swab. Polishing the dry coat brings out the metal effect, while the wax formulation calls for a full 48-hour drying period.
Apply primer before adding the Copper colour.
White spirit is used when preparing it for airbrushing.
The completed layer may be covered by acrylic varnish.
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.
