Frequently asked questions

How do I paint steel without metallics?
A dark blue-grey base, Smoke Grey as the mid tone, narrow white highlights and near-black reflections. Non-metallic steel lives on hard contrast – soft transitions turn it into plastic.

How does it differ from Pearl Grey?
Smoke Grey is darker and bluer, Pearl Grey lighter and more violet. Smoke Grey is a mid tone, Pearl Grey a highlight.

How do I thin this paint?
With water or an Ionic thinner. The formula is self-hydrating, so it stays workable on the palette far longer than ordinary acrylics – a drop is enough for brush work, and roughly 1 : 1 for airbrush.

Is the finish really matt?
Yes, it dries matt with no shiny patches. If the figure is going on the gaming table, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.

The full range is in the Ionic Smart Colors category.
