Revell 99 Aluminium is a modeling paint, not a kit. It comes from the Revell Email Color range and is a synthetic enamel paint on a solvent base, not an acrylic; it is thinned with Revell Color Mix or mineral spirits and takes brush as well as airbrush. The shade is a cool, light grayish aluminum with a metallic sparkle. Of all the metallics, aluminum is by far the one a modeler reaches for most often, as practically no aircraft model can do without it.
The aluminum flakes are only temporarily dispersed in the paint: they settle at the bottom, and as soon as you stir the bottle only from the top you will draw out mostly binder and the shade will come out pale and without shine. Stir persistently, therefore, and right down to the bottom. Aluminum is moreover the metallic most sensitive to the quality of the base: the metal flakes settle into every scratch and imperfection and literally pull them out onto the surface, so sand the surface before spraying and lay a smooth, gloss base under it, as only on that will aluminum shine. And because a metallic is hard to overspray and takes masking tape badly, plan it as the last color layer; if you do have to mask, use a low-tack tape and peel it off slowly at a sharp angle.
For aircraft modelers above all, as schemes with bare metal cannot be built without aluminum. It also comes into play on cars, motorcycles, vehicles and everywhere that bare, unpainted metal is wanted. Compared with acrylic, an enamel paint has the advantage of staying wet longer and flowing out into a smooth surface better.
A flammable liquid. The vapors irritate the airways, so ensure good ventilation and use respiratory protection when spraying. Keep out of the reach of children.
