Vallejo Metal Color 77701 Aluminium (32ml)

Vallejo Metal Color 77701 Aluminum (32 ml) is a Vallejo Metal Color acrylic metallic paint in the shade of aluminum. It is suitable for aluminum and silver surfaces on aircraft, engines, landing gear, panels, and metal details.

The Metal Color line is primarily designed for airbrushing. Apply the paint in several thin layers to keep the surface smooth and prevent the metallic effect from appearing rough. For light and glossy shades, it’s best to use the smoothest possible base, as the metallic pigments will highlight any unevenness.
