AK Interactive True Metal AK455 Aluminium (20 ml) is a wax-based metallic model paint in an aluminum shade. High-quality pigments allow you to create a realistic metallic surface, whose shine and contrast can be enhanced by polishing after drying.
This shade is particularly suitable for aluminum aircraft panels, structures, covers, rims, and common light-colored metal surfaces. True Metal can be used on plastic models, figures, dioramas, sci-fi, and wargaming miniatures.
The manufacturer recommends applying a primer to the surface first. The paint can be applied with a brush, finger, cotton swab, or soft cloth. For airbrushing, thin it with White Spirit to the desired consistency. Once completely dry, the surface can be protected with acrylic varnish.
Recommended Procedure
- Smooth the surface, degrease it, and apply a suitable primer.
- Apply a small amount of paint and spread it into a thin, even layer. A thick layer takes significantly longer to dry.
- To highlight edges or relief, gently rub the nearly dry pigment in with your finger or a cotton swab.
- Once dry, carefully polish the surface with a clean, soft cloth or cotton swab.
- Allow the wax paint to dry completely before applying any further patina or varnish; the manufacturer recommends approximately 48 hours.
Use AK White Spirit for airbrushing and cleaning tools. Add thinner gradually and test the resulting mixture on a test piece first.
