## Long description

The water-based formulation allows easy thinning and cleanup with water, while maintaining color stability and minimal settling in the bottle. Quick drying reduces waiting time between coats and supports fast workflow when layering highlights or applying additional weathering effects.

Key specifications

Finish: metallic (steel-like)
Volume: 18 ml
Application: brush or airbrush, ready to use
Drying: quick-drying for fast recoat
Cleanup: water-soluble when wet
How to use
Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. For brush application, apply thin, even coats and allow to dry between layers to build coverage without obscuring fine details. For airbrushing, the paint is often usable straight from the bottle but can be thinned with water or a dedicated acrylic thinner to achieve the preferred viscosity; test spray on scrap material first. Avoid applying overly thick layers to prevent runs or loss of detail. Clean tools with water immediately after use.
Usage recommendations
Use a primer appropriate to the model material for best adhesion and color fidelity. For enhanced durability and a uniform metallic appearance, consider sealing with a compatible clear varnish after the paint has fully cured. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and close the cap tightly to preserve pigment quality.
