Opaque Colors - Donkey Grey

Opaque Colors - Donkey Grey (Green Stuff World)

Donkey Grey is a muted gray from the Opaque Colors modeling line by Green Stuff World. The name of the line denotes, with this maker, opaque shades, that is paints meant for covering a surface. Muted grays are among the most practical things a palette can hold: they do not shout, they can be used on their own and as a base under cooler or warmer tones, and they are seldom missing.

Where the color is used

On figures and dioramas it is animal fur, above all donkeys, mules and horses, and then stone, concrete, paving and the masonry of ruins. On historical models it is blankets, tarpaulins and gray items of uniform. And because the shade is neutral, it will also serve as a base under metal surfaces or as an intermediate step with which to even out too sharp a transition between a dark and a light gray.

Use

• Stir the paint thoroughly before work, so that the shade stays the same throughout.
• Apply it in two or three thin coats rather than one heavy one.
• Let each coat dry properly before you add another.
• On stone and concrete surfaces a dry brush works well to pick out the edges.
• Close the pot properly after work and wash the brushes at once, not the next day.

Who the color is for

It will be appreciated by modelers of figures, by builders of dioramas with stone and concrete elements and by a player painting a whole army who is looking for a universal gray. Shades from one line mix with each other without trouble, so you can build your own scale from dark to light out of them. The paint can be used on plastic, resin and metal models, provided the surface is clean and prepared with a primer.

Keep out of the reach of children. Work on a protected surface and in a well-ventilated room, and wash your hands afterward.
