Vallejo Model Air Metallic Black Acrylic Paint 17ml reviews

For those looking for a realistic colour for the gun metal on their WW2 miniatures you should try this. Hits right on the mark in 1 go. No undercoating, mixing or washing required. 1 coat and you have the desired effect if a realistic look is what you are looking for.

Excellent metallic black. Colour spreads evenly and doesn't clog your airbrush (it's a piece of cake to clean it after using this colour). This metallic black is slightly gloss though ( so you need to take that into account if you're after a tone that is completely matte).

I used this on a my space marine bolters and swords as the 1st coat and then used other brighter metaillics for some contrast. Works well.

This colour is magnificent. I needed to thin mine as it was fairly thick, almost like toothpaste, so I used an acrylic paint thinner like AK (from mighty ape).
