Vallejo Metal Color: Exhaust Manifold

Metal Color is the innovative range of metallic colors with a water-based formulation, which uses aluminium pigments in its production. The Metal Color range offers a wide range of shades in order to imitate the metallic finish of aircraft of all types and eras. Of exceptional brightness and extraordinary power of reflection, it allows the modeler to carry out the full range of painting techniques without the need to resort to enamels and lacquers.

Applications: Vallejo Metal Color can be applied with a brush. Metal Color can also be applied directly to the model using an airbrush or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver. Metal Color dries very quickly, maintaining the smallest details present on the model and forming a homogeneous and self-leveling layer of extraordinary resistance a few hours after application. Metal Color can be tinted directly in the airbrush cup using colors from the Model Air or Game Air ranges. Recommended compressor settings for Vallejos colors are around 15-20 Psi or 0.5-1 kg. For proper maintenance of the airbrush, it is recommended using Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner.

It is advisable, in the case of airframes and aircraft model components, to apply Vallejo Gloss Black Primer to enhance the special characteristics of the aluminium shades.

In masking procedures: Metal Color dries very quickly, but it is advisable to wait 12 hours after application before applying any paint masks. Also available is Vallejo Gloss Metal Varnish.

Safety: Metal Color is not flammable, and does not contain solvents.
