AK XTREME METAL Color XTREME METAL DARK ALUMINIUM

AK Interactive Xtreme Metal AK480 Dark Aluminium (30 ml) is the Dark Aluminum shade from the AK Xtreme Metal professional line of metallic paints. Special metallic micropigments create a smooth and even metallic finish without unnecessarily obscuring details.

The paint is ready for direct airbrushing and offers high coverage and adhesion. According to the manufacturer, a primer is not necessary; however, for the cleanest possible metallic finish, the surface must be smooth, degreased, and free of dust. Once cured, the coat is resistant to standard patina techniques and can be clear-coated without losing its gloss.

You can use it on darker aircraft panels, engine parts, landing gear, and for contrasting tones on aluminum surfaces. The line is suitable for plastic models, figures, sci-fi models, and metal details on wargaming miniatures.

Recommended Procedure

  1. Shake the bottle thoroughly to ensure the metallic pigments are evenly distributed.
  2. Smooth, degrease, and dust the surface. A primer is not required, but the base coat will affect the brightness and depth of the shade.
  3. Apply the paint with an airbrush in several thin layers. Allow the surface to air dry briefly between coats.
  4. Add additional shades, patina, or clear coat only after the paint has fully cured. Test the entire process on a test piece first.

Use AK470 Xtreme Cleaner & Thinner to adjust viscosity if necessary and to clean the airbrush. Standard water-based acrylic thinner is not suitable for this paint line.
