About product

Poison Black, a black for engines, rubber and shadows

Black is used differently in modeling than in ordinary painting. A large area sprayed in pure black acts like a hole on a small object, because in scale even a black surface appears lighter than it really is. That is why it pays to have several black tones in a palette and to choose by the task. Poison Black from the Lifecolor acrylic range is one of them.

What to use it for

  • exhausts, engine and timing covers, heat-stressed parts
  • rubber components, seals, protective boots and wiring
  • deep shadows in the chassis and in the engine bay
  • a dark base under scuffs and exposed metal

How to work with black

Let it show through in some places and overpower it in others. Black gives the best result as an underlying coat: you lay it over the whole area and apply the next tone so that it stays visible in the corners, around the rivets and under protrusions. The model gains by that the depth a uniform finish never has.

On metal parts the opposite of what one would expect holds. Metal does not act metallic because the whole of it shines, but because beside a shiny patch there are plenty of dark surroundings. Black is therefore just as important a tool for the impression of metal as the metallic colors themselves.

Who it is suitable for

For builders of vehicles, motorcycles and cars and for diorama makers who need a reliable dark area for shadows and under detailed work.

Use in a ventilated area, close the container carefully and store out of the reach of children.

FAQ

On a small object a large black area runs together and the model loses its shape. Black works best as an underlying coat or in the corners and shadows, where it creates depth.

Yes, for seals, boots and wiring. With tires the result is usually shifted further toward gray and completed with dust, because real rubber is not richly black in scale.

It makes contrast. A metal patch beside dark surroundings acts markedly more metallic than the same patch over a light ground, so black is used as a base under scuffs and exposed metal.
