What it is for in figure painting

  • Anodised metal – sports fittings, sci-fi frames and machinery.
  • Deep fantasy armour – where metal should be dark and coloured.
  • Vehicles and paintwork – metallic bodywork.
  • Shadow under lighter blue metallics – as the dark tone beneath Metallic Blue.

What to pair it with

Shade with Gun Metal or a black glaze; highlight with Metallic Blue and Silver. With Anodized Violet you get an iridescent transition.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Cobalt Blue and Metallic Blue?
Cobalt Blue is darker and more saturated; Metallic Blue carries more silver sheen. They are normally used together – Cobalt as the base, Metallic Blue as the highlight.

Do metallics need a gloss undercoat?
Not strictly, but it helps. On a smooth glossy base the pigment lies more evenly and the metal looks smoother.

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.
