About product

The gray reflection of gun steel, Lifecolor Gun Grey Reflection

Not every scene has a pronounced colored light. When a weapon or a metal part is in ordinary daylight, its reflections do not tip toward the warm or the cool side and stay neutrally gray. The acrylic shade Lifecolor Gun Grey Reflection is built for precisely this most common situation, and within the brand's trio of metal reflections it works as the default choice.

Typical use

  • accentuating the edges of the barrel, the bolt and the magazine
  • smoothed places where metal shines from use
  • the metal parts of tools, shovels and chains
  • small hardware on straps and pouches

Recommended procedure

First the metal base, only then the reflection. A dry brush with the paint almost wiped out will catch only the highest points of the relief, and it is the quickest route to a faithful result. On larger parts the reflection can be led as a thin line along an edge and its edge lightly blended, so that it does not act like a drawn line. Anyone who wants to go further adds a warm or a cool reflection from the same group to one side of a part.

Who to recommend it to

It suits modelers who want to bring metal surfaces alive but do not want to deal with the color temperature of a scene. It is a safe choice for the armament of figures, for the equipment of vehicles and for the small metal accessories of dioramas, because it brings no extra color shift into a model.

Keep out of the reach of children, work in a ventilated area and close the bottle after use.

FAQ

The neutral gray one. It adds no extra color temperature to a model, so it fits most scenes regardless of what lighting they have.

The effect reckons with a finished metal base beneath it. The reflection then accentuates the edges and the highest points of the relief.

A dry brush with the paint almost wiped out helps, and on larger parts a light blending of the edge of the line. The aim is a suggestion of light, not an outline of the edge.

Yes. The neutral reflection forms the base and the color positions are added only to the side of a part that is meant to reflect a particular light.
