Gold in NMM is not a yellow paint – it is a ladder from near-white through three yellows to a dark red and a purple in the deepest shadows. Purple and Hull Red are exactly why painted gold reads as warm and expensive rather than as mustard. The set gives you that six-step ladder, and AK publishes its own how-to guide for it.

What to combine it with

FAQ
Where exactly does the purple go?
Into the deepest shadows of the ornament and where gold meets the shadow of cloth. It is the bridge between red and shadow – applied as a thin glaze, never as a flat coat.
Can NMM gold be combined with metallic paint?
It can, but not on the same element. The usual approach is NMM on the large surfaces and metallics on small buckles – side by side on one panel the difference in texture is glaring.
Can the paints be bought individually?
Yes. These are standard shades from the AK 3rd Generation range in 17 ml bottles, so when one runs out you only replace that one.
Can they be airbrushed?
Yes. Thinned with 3rd Generation thinner they pass through a 0.2 mm nozzle as easily as lacquer paints. Neat, they are meant for brushwork.
More paint sets are in the AK 3rd Generation Paint Sets category, and individual shades in AK 3rd Generation.
