About product

Deactive Gray (Semi-Gloss) - a color from the Gundam series

A modeling paint from the Japanese brand Gunze from the series of colors for kits from the Gundam universe. The word Deactive in the name refers to the finish of machines in the inactive state, when the armor loses its color and stays in a neutral gray. The designation Semi-Gloss in the name gives a semi-gloss surface.

What the inactive finish means

The armor of some machines on the real subject holds its color only while running and turns gray once the energy is lost. The color is mixed for precisely this state and on a model it is used together with the white version from the same series. Building a machine in the inactive finish is a rewarding idea for a diorama, because it sets a model markedly apart from the dozens of identical kits in combat colors. From the point of view of working with the surface, gray is also the best base for highlighting the engraved lines and for the light patina such a scene needs.

Use and tips

  • Gray is a rewarding base for highlighting the lines and for a fine patina
  • Shake the bottle thoroughly before applying; the pigment settles at the bottom
  • Apply in several thin layers; one thick one will flood the engraved lines
  • Test the compatibility with a varnish or patina on an offcut of the sprue
  • Settle the thinner and the cleaning of the tools according to the manufacturer's instructions for this range

Who the color is for

The color is meant for builders of kits from the Gundam universe who want to build a model in the inactive finish, and for modelers who find a neutral gray useful for frames and accessories.

Store the paint out of the reach of children, work in a ventilated space and use a respirator and eye protection when spraying. Check the suitable thinner and the cleaning of the tools against the manufacturer's data for this range - Gunze carries several systems side by side that do not mix with one another.

FAQ

The type of binder is not stated in the name and is not stated here, and Gunze carries several mutually incompatible paint systems under one brand, each of which has a thinner of its own. So go solely by the data on the packaging, not by analogy with another paint of the same brand.

It is mixed for the particular finish of machines in the inactive state and goes with the other paints of the same series. As a neutral gray you will use it elsewhere too, on frames, accessories or a diorama for instance.

It is a semi-gloss surface, that is the middle road between matte and gloss. On plastic articulated models it comes across naturally and takes handling better than a pure matte, because it does not get dirty from fingers as much.
