Metal-effect acrylic for hobby projects

This metallic finishing acrylic is suited to hobby coatings on scale models and small components. It contains fine metallic pigment that gives a clean reflective sheen without a heavy grain when applied in controlled, thin layers.

Application tips: shake or stir well before use, apply a series of thin coats rather than thick single layers, and allow time for flash-off between coats. Trial on scrap material or hidden sections to confirm finish before committing to main panels.

Compatibility and surface prep: apply over a compatible primer for plastic and resin after cleaning and degreasing parts. For intricate detail use a fine brush or low-pressure airbrush to preserve definition and avoid pooling in recessed areas.

Handling and cleanup: keep the pot sealed and store out of direct sunlight. Clean brushes and airbrush parts promptly with the recommended cleaner to prevent pigment buildup and blockages.

Intended for primed plastics and resin parts; priming improves adhesion and evens the tone for metallic pigments.
Allow brief flash-off until the surface is tack-free, typically a few minutes depending on conditions, then apply the next thin coat to build depth.
Yes—use a compatible clear acrylic or lacquer sealer after the metallic layers are fully cured, and test first to ensure no clouding occurs.
Both work; use a fine brush for small details and a low-pressure airbrush for even, feathered coats. Build the effect with light passes.
Work in a well ventilated area, use a mask rated for paint fumes, and follow the solvent and cleaner safety advice on the label.
