A metallic aluminum shade in a semi-matt finish from the Hataka Orange Line. For the bare metal surfaces of aircraft and vehicle models.
Responsibility details are not available.
Semi-matt Aluminium is a metallic aluminum shade in a semi-matt finish, that is, somewhere between the sheen of freshly polished sheet and the flatness of a weathered surface. That very degree of sheen tends to be the most usable one on a model: the deep metallic look stays, but the highlights do not overpower the shape and the surface does not read as a mirror. It finds use on aircraft with bare duralumin skin, on engine cowlings, on landing gear legs, on exhaust shrouds and anywhere bare metal is meant to show.
Metallic shades carry a pigment that settles in the container more than in ordinary paints, so stir the contents really thoroughly before use rather than merely shaking them. The thinner intended for this line and the thinning ratio are stated by the manufacturer on the packaging, so follow the instructions. Apply it in several light coats; with metallic shades a heavy coat accentuates every fault in the base and the paint loses its fineness.
The base decides the result more than with any other paint. Sand the area smooth beforehand and go over it with a smooth base coat, because a metallic shade will not hide scratches and sanding marks and instead brings them to light. Let the finished coat cure properly before you put masking tape on it, or it will take a piece of the surface with it when it is lifted. If you divide the surfaces into several metal shades by individual panels, the surface gains depth and stops looking uniform.
The model, thinner, brushes and airbrush are not included, unless stated otherwise.
