About product

Rubber Black, an AK interactive 3rd Generation acrylic paint

A dark black shifted toward gray, intended for materials that only look black: rubber, charred surfaces, dark cables. It is not an absolute black, and that is deliberate. The paint is acrylic, it is thinned with water or with acrylic thinner of the same type and it will not take mixing with enamels or lacquer paints.

Where it fits

  • Tires, the rubber tires of road wheels and the rubber pads of tracks.
  • Hoses, cable bundles, seals and other small rubber items.
  • Dark bases under metallics, where the metal is meant to look deep once sprayed over.
  • A base under dusting with pigments, because dust stands out better on this black than on a pure one.

Why not a pure black

A pure black at a small scale absorbs light and the area turns into an outline with no shape, so that a tire then looks like a hole in the model. A rubber black is one step lighter and grayer, so it keeps the pattern of the tread and the shape of the sidewall. It goes on well with a brush and with an airbrush; over a dark base the tone holds at once, while over a light one it is better laid down in two thin coats so that no streaks are left. Round the effect off with a drybrush of a lighter gray along the edges of the tread and with dusting on the lower part.

How to take the color further

Rubber never looks the same in two places: the sidewall of a tire tends to be darker and slightly glossier than a worn tread. If you pour a little paint out of the bottle and add a drop of gray or brown to it, you get a second tone for the surfaces that rub against the ground, and the wheel stops looking like a single uniform casting.

Who it is for

For builders of military and civil vehicles who want to set tires and rubber parts apart from metal parts painted black.

Stir before use and close the bottle after the work. Store at room temperature, protect from frost and keep out of reach of children.

FAQ

A pure black in scale absorbs light and the tire loses its shape. A rubber black is noticeably grayer, so the tread and the sidewall of the wheel keep their pattern.

A water-based acrylic. It is thinned with water or with acrylic thinner of the same type; it does not mix with enamel or lacquer paints.

Yes, a dark base does metallics good, because metal looks deeper over it than over a light base.

Once it is dry, go over the edges of the tread with a drybrush of a lighter gray and dust the lower part with pigment; the contrast will give the rubber texture.
