AK457 True Metal Steel can receive an acrylic varnish after the colour has dried. Its 20 ml wax formulation is a metallic modelling paint that develops its metal finish through polishing. Prime the model beforehand and leave the wax coating for 48 hours so it can dry fully.
Brush application is supported, as are fingertip and cotton-swab methods.
For airbrushing, the colour must first be thinned with white spirit.
High-quality pigments are used in the formulation.
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.
