About product

The bluish reflection of blued steel, Lifecolor Gun Blue Reflection

Neither the barrel nor the bolt of a weapon is uniformly gray in reality. Smoothed steel reflects its surroundings, and depending on the angle of view color tones enter it that the eye perceives as a metallic shine. The acrylic shade Lifecolor Gun Blue Reflection stands for the cool, bluish part of those reflections and is used as a complement to the basic metal color, not in place of it.

Where the reflection appears

  • the edges of the barrel, the bolt and the trigger guard
  • horizontal surfaces that reflect the sky
  • smoothed patches on the protrusions of the metal
  • the small metal components of equipment and tools

How to work with a reflection

The measure decides. A reflection belongs on a small area and exactly where light would really fall: a single thin line along an edge will do more than an overdone area. A dry brush with a minimum of paint works well, and with larger scales a thin glaze drawn over the metal base. On figures and small armament the reflection is often limited to a single touch with the tip of a brush.

Who will find it useful

The paint will be appreciated by modelers of figures and by collectors who finish off small armament, and equally by builders of vehicles with exposed metal parts. Two sister colors with a warm and a neutral reflection complement it in the brand's range, so a metal surface can be graded according to what it is meant to reflect.

Keep out of the reach of children, ensure ventilation while working and close the bottle carefully after use.

FAQ

It will not. It is built as a reflection added onto an already finished metal surface, to accentuate the edges and the smoothed places.

Very little. With figures it is often a single touch with the tip of a brush along the edge of the barrel or the bolt. An overdone area will rather cancel the effect.

Metal reflects differently according to its surroundings. Beside the cool bluish reflection the brand also has a warm and a neutral one in its range, so a reflection can be matched to the setting a figure or a vehicle is placed in.

Yes, the smoothed places on tools, on the buckles of equipment or on small hardware can be accentuated in the same way.
