About product

Alclad II Dark Sea Grey

An opaque modeling paint from the Alclad II enamel range. It is thinned with solvent, so it belongs to enamel chemistry and has nothing in common with acrylics thinnable with water or with nitrocellulose lacquers. Dark Sea Grey is a dark gray shade that has long been used in British aviation terminology for the upper surfaces of machines operating over the sea and in coastal conditions. In modeling practice it forms a classic pair with other British gray-green and gray tones.

Working with the paint, and drying

  • Stir before use, as the pigment of dark grays settles to the bottom especially readily.
  • Thin with a thinner for enamels or with mineral spirits; adapt the ratio to the pressure and the nozzle of the airbrush.
  • Allow for longer drying than with acrylic. The surface is dry to the touch sooner than the paint is really cured.
  • Put masking tape on only once it is fully cured, otherwise it will press in or pull the paint off as it is lifted.
  • Peel the tape slowly and at an acute angle back over itself, not perpendicular away from the surface.

Who the paint is for

For builders of British aircraft and generally for modelers who need a dark neutral gray with no blue or brown cast. It comes into its own on the upper surfaces of two-color camouflage schemes, where it forms the contrasting counterpart to lighter tones, and it serves just as well as a dark base under panel accenting. Enamel chemistry rewards patient modelers with a smooth flow, but it calls for discipline in cleaning the tools.

It contains a flammable solvent. Work with effective ventilation, use protection for your airways, avoid open flame and keep out of the reach of children.

FAQ

Longer than acrylic. It dries on the surface quickly, but for full curing rather give the model a whole night, especially before masking.

Only once it is fully cured. On enamel that has not dried through, tape presses its texture into the surface or pulls the paint off as it is lifted.

No, these are two different British shades, and the second of them is noticeably darker. When building to a scheme, check which one the instructions call for.

Yes, provided the acrylic is perfectly cured. Solvent acts on a fresh acrylic base and may lift it.
