Anodized Violet is exactly what the name says – the colour of anodised, heat-tinted metal. On a figure it is a supporting shade rather than a main colour: it lives in the transitions that give metal an iridescent cast.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a titanium exhaust effect?
Start with Gun Metal, then lay bands of Metallic Blue, Anodized Violet and Emerald Metallic Green – the transitions must be smooth and very thin.
Can Anodized Violet be used on its own?
It can, but it reads as very specific. Over larger areas it works better as an accent than as the base colour of a whole suit of armour.
How do I thin it?
With water or an AK thinner. A few drops are enough for brush work; airbrushing needs more – AK thinners and cleaners are made for that. With acrylics, two thin coats always beat one thick one.
Is the finish really matt?
Yes, the 3rd Generation range dries matt. To protect the figure or even out the sheen, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.
The full range is in the AK 3rd Generation category.
