Cobra Motor Mineral Grau

Cobra Motor Mineral Grau by AMMO of Mig Jimenez

A paint from the Cobra Motor line, which AMMO of Mig Jimenez devoted exclusively to car modelers. The German name refers to the gray factory finishes that turn up on production passenger cars in Europe. The shade is therefore a finished tone for a palette, not a universal modeling gray.

One car, several shades

A car model rarely gets by with a single color. The body has its factory finish, the window frames and trim strips tend to be darker, the rims have a tone of their own and the exhaust a metallic cast. The Cobra Motor line is built exactly like that, as a set of tones that can be put together within one car so that they match.

Use

• The bodies of models of European passenger cars.
• Matching the body with the lids, doors and removable panels.
• Additional parts that are meant to hold the tone of the body.
• A base for later weathering with dust and dirt on vehicles for dioramas.

Application tips

Apply the paint to a test offcut of plastic before you touch the body, as gray shades differ less from one another in the bottle than on the model. Work in thin coats and let each one set, otherwise the sheen goes uneven and the surface comes out marbled. Stir the bottle every time, not only at the start of work.

Who the color is for

For modelers building civilian cars in factory finish and for anyone who wants their gray tones in one consistent line. The thinning and the chemistry are covered by the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

Ventilate the room and protect your airways when spraying. Keep out of the reach of children.
