Vallejo has a new range of metal colours, specially designed for airbrush. They use a new generation aluminium pigments for improved resistance and adherence.
There are 17 colours, from several shades of aluminium to silver, chrome, gold and copper among others, available in 32ml. bottles with a flip top/eyedropper closure.
The range includes also a new gloss black primer and gloss metal varnish.
According to Vallejo, Metal Color can be applied directly on models without the need for the use of a primer, although in the case of fuselages and components for airplane models it is recommended to first apply a glossy Black Primer to bring forth the unique and special quality of the aluminium finish.
It is used directly into the cup of the airbrush, either undiluted or previously diluted with Vallejo Thinner. It dries almost instantly on the model and permits immediate application of weathering processes such as the use of washes, pigments, and dry-brush techniques. It is however recommended to wait an hour or so of curing time before manipulating the fresh layer of paint.
