Vallejo Metal Color 77716 Semi Matt Aluminium Metal (32 ml)

Vallejo Metal Color 77716 Semi Matt Aluminium (32 ml) is an acrylic metallic paint from Vallejo Metal Color in the shade of semi-matt aluminium. It is suitable for aluminium and silver surfaces of aircraft, engines, landing gears, panels, and metallic details.

The Metal Color range is primarily prepared for airbrush. Apply the paint in several thin layers to keep the surface smooth and prevent the metallic effect from appearing rough. For light and glossy shades, it is advisable to use the smoothest possible surface, as metallic pigments highlight every imperfection.
