About product

A warm reflection on the metal of a weapon: Lifecolor Gun Red Reflection

Metal has no color of its own, it only reflects what is around it. A weapon carried in the warmth of a setting sun, by a fire or in an interior with wooden paneling catches warm, slightly reddish tones in its reflections. The acrylic shade Lifecolor Gun Red Reflection is for precisely this position: it is an accentuation on a finished metal surface, not the color of the whole weapon.

Where a warm reflection pays off

  • figures placed in warm light or by a fire
  • metal parts lying close to wood and brass
  • edges that are meant to look smoothed rather than sharp
  • small hardware on equipment and straps

How to deploy the shade

A warm reflection always has a smaller area on metal than the metal itself, or the surface turns into copper. It is applied with the tip of a brush along the edges, or with a dry brush with a minimum of paint, so that it stays only on the highest points of the relief. An effective trick is to combine it with the cool position of the reflection on the opposite side of a part: the metal then looks as if it were reflecting two different lights.

Who the paint is for

It will be appreciated mainly by painters of figures and busts who work with the light atmosphere of a scene, and by collectors who care that armament should not look like a gray blot. With the sister shades of the same group it forms a trio with which a metal surface can be graded from cool through neutral to warm.

Store the paint out of the reach of children, ventilate while working and close the container after use.

FAQ

Metal reflects its setting. In the light of a fire, in a warm evening sun or beside wood a metal surface catches a warm cast. The shade imitates this phenomenon on the small area of the edges.

That is not advisable. Over a larger area it stops acting as a reflection and the surface starts to look rather like copper. The effect rests on its taking up only the highest points of the relief.

Yes, and it is the strongest way of using it. A warm reflection on one side of a part and a cool one on the other create the impression of metal with two different lights falling into it.

It comes into its own best where there is enough room on the edges, that is, with larger figures and busts. On small armament a single touch with a brush is enough.
