Vallejo Metal Color Metallic Panel Set contains four water-based acrylic metallics selected for painting panels on aircraft. The colours use aluminium pigments to produce a reflective metal finish without requiring enamel or lacquer metallic paints. They are formulated primarily for airbrush application but can also be used with a brush, and Vallejo states that they may be tinted directly in the airbrush cup with Model Air or Game Air colours. Each paint is supplied in a 32 ml bottle with a hinged cap, eyedropper closure and stainless-steel mixing ball.
Set contains: 77.701 Aluminium; 77.703 Dark Aluminium; 77.712 Steel; 77.724 Silver
Vallejo recommends airbrushing Metal Color at approximately 15–20 psi
Vallejo recommends Gloss Black Primer beneath aluminium shades on airframes and aircraft components; the primer is not included in the set
Each colour is also sold separately. 77.701 Aluminium also appears in the Jet Exhaust Set

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.
