Silver Grey is a light cool grey with a silvery character – not a metallic, but a shade that behaves like a reflection in non-metallic metal work. Away from metal it serves as a clean light tone.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the highlight go on a blade?
Where the blade is closest to the light – usually the top edge and the tip. A thin line of Silver Grey is enough; keep the rest dark or the blade loses its shape.
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.
