Built around a mirror result, AK477 Xtreme Metal Chrome provides 30 ml of metallic lacquer for scale models. It is designed to develop its reflective finish over a dark surface, where the underlying tone supports the chrome effect. The lacquer combines the Chrome colour with the highly reflective appearance that defines this particular finish.
Apply it in thin layers rather than building one heavy coat.
Use AK471 Xtreme Metal Black Base underneath as the dark foundation.
The Chrome surface is delicate and will not accept heavy weathering.
The mirror comes from a special type of high-quality metallic pigment.
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.
