Burnishing Fluid

Burnishing Fluid for Realistic Metallic Finishes

When it comes to adding realism to scale models, burnishing fluid is a trusted solution for achieving authentic metallic finishes and natural patina effects. Whether you’re working on tank tracks, photoetched brass parts, or metallic details, burnishing fluids chemically react with the surface to create subtle wear and aged tones that look far more convincing than paint alone. This makes them an essential tool for modelers striving for lifelike results.

What’s in This Collection?

In this collection, you’ll find specialized burnishing fluid products from AMMO by MIG Jimenez. Options like the Metallic Tracks Burnishing Fluid are designed specifically for tank and armored vehicle tracks, allowing you to darken and weather metal parts with realistic depth. You’ll also find the Photoetch Burnishing Fluid, created for fine brass and photoetched details, perfect for aircraft, ships, and intricate diorama accessories. Each bottle provides consistent results and is easy to use even for beginners.

Benefits, Tips, and Uses

Using burnishing fluid gives your models an edge by replicating real oxidation, rust tones, and metallic aging. Unlike paints, the chemical reaction ensures the finish is durable and doesn’t chip off easily. For best results, clean the parts thoroughly before applying the fluid. Submerge or brush the product on the metal surface and watch the transformation as the patina develops in minutes. Once dry, you can enhance the effect with pigments, washes, or dry brushing. This technique is especially effective for WWII armor tracks, aircraft cockpits, naval brass details, and model railway parts.
