About product

Natural Steel, an AK interactive 3rd Generation acrylic metallic

A cooler metal shade corresponding to bare steel, that is a material neither polished to a mirror nor oxidized to gray. It is used everywhere the finish has been worn off a part by work and the metal underneath has appeared. The paint is an acrylic with a metallic pigment, thinned with water or with acrylic thinner of the same type.

Where it fits

  • Knives, blades, the edges of tools, axes and shovels on the gear of vehicles.
  • Barrels, breeches and the metal parts of small arms on figures.
  • The polished edges of tracks and the parts of the running gear that rub against the ground.
  • The metal parts of machines and tools on a workshop diorama.

Airbrush versus brush

In an airbrush the shade behaves differently than under a brush, and it is worth thinking about that in advance. Thin the paint gradually for an airbrush and spray rather more thin passes at lower pressure, as an over-thinned metallic lets the pigment separate and the area stays watery. With a brush, on the contrary, it pays to work with the paint almost unthinned and in short strokes in one direction, so that the pigment lines up and leaves no blotches. For the finest wear dry brushing proves itself: run an almost dry brush across the edges and the metal settles only on the exposed places. The metallic pigment settles at the bottom, so mix it as you work.

Who it is for

For builders of equipment and figures who work on the wear of metal parts, and for diorama makers with workshop and tool scenes.

Mix before use and during the work and close the bottle. Store at room temperature, out of the reach of children.

FAQ

Steel is cooler and darker, aluminum lighter and more sparkling. Both tones can be combined on one model and the areas graded with them.

Yes, but thin it gradually and spray more thin passes at lower pressure. An over-thinned metallic lets the pigment separate.

Dry brushing. Wipe almost all the paint off the brush first and then run it lightly across the edges, so the metal clings to the exposed places.

Definitely. The metallic pigment settles at the bottom, so mix the bottle before the work and during it.
