Vallejo Metal Color 77712 Steel Metal (32 ml)

Vallejo Metal Color 77712 Steel (32 ml) is a Vallejo Metal Color acrylic metallic paint in a steel shade. It is suitable for darker metal parts, weapons, undercarriages, engines, tools, tracks, and technical details on models.

The Metal Color line is designed primarily for airbrushing. Apply the paint in several thin layers to keep the surface smooth and prevent the metallic effect from looking rough. For light and glossy shades, it’s best to use the smoothest possible base, as the metallic pigments will highlight any unevenness.
