Alclad II Hot Metal
Alclad II Hot Metal paints are specialty finishes designed to replicate realistic heat-stressed metal effects found on exhausts, engine components, and high-temperature surfaces. These colors simulate the blue, bronze, and violet tones created when metal is exposed to extreme heat.
Hot Metal finishes are commonly used on aircraft exhausts, jet nozzles, armor components, and automotive headers. When layered correctly, they produce natural color transitions and authentic thermal discoloration that elevates a model from painted to truly realistic.
Why use Alclad II Hot Metal finishes
- Designed for realistic heat-stained metal effects
- Ideal for exhausts, turbo housings, and engine components
