Best Practices for Application
For optimal results, apply metallic paints over a smooth base coat using a prepared surface from Mission Model Paint Primers. Metallics can be sensitive to surface texture, so ensure proper thinning with Mission Model thinner when airbrushing. After your metallic layers cure, protect them with a protective finish from the Mission Model Paint Clear Coats collection.
Mission Model Metallics are specialty acrylic paints with reflective metallic pigments designed to simulate metal finishes like aluminum, steel, nickel, and other metal tones on scale models.
Can metallic paints be brushed?
Metallic paints are formulated for airbrush use to achieve the smoothest, most even finish. While light brush application is possible, airbrushing yields the best results.
Do I need a special primer for metallics?
Yes. Use a thin, smooth primer such as those from the Mission Model Paint Primers collection to ensure good adhesion and minimize texture before applying metallics.
How do I protect a metallic finish?
After your metallic layers are dry, seal and protect them with an appropriate finish from the Mission Model Paint Clear Coats. Gloss clear coats enhance shine, while satin or flat clears can tone down reflectivity for realism.
