AK Interactive AK471 Xtreme Metal Black Base Paint
AK Interactive AK471 Xtreme Metal Black Base is a dedicated black metallic paint base for creating a smooth, dark foundation beneath bright metallic colors on aircraft, automotive, sci-fi, and hard-surface scale models. Use this Xtreme Metal Black Base before Chrome, Polished Aluminium, and other high-contrast metallic finishes where careful surface preparation is important.
Key Features
- Dark Metallic Foundation: Establishes a consistent black base before applying brighter Xtreme Metal paints, including chrome-style and polished-metal finishes.
- Supports High-Contrast Metallic Effects: Helps create stronger visual separation beneath reflective metallic colors, polished trim, engine details, vehicle panels, and sci-fi components.
- Detail-Preserving Coverage: Build coverage in light, controlled coats while helping retain panel lines, rivets, vents, seams, and molded surface texture.
- Useful Across Hard-Surface Projects: Suitable for aircraft, automotive models, machinery, spacecraft, robots, display models, and other surfaces that require a dark base before metallic finishing.
Recommended Uses
AK Interactive Xtreme Metal Black Base is suitable for scale-model aircraft, automotive builds, engine covers, polished trim, spacecraft, sci-fi armor, robot models, vehicle panels, mechanical parts, and display projects where brighter metallic colors need a clean dark foundation.
Application Tips
Spray several thin, even coats over a clean and smooth model surface, then allow the base to cure fully before applying metallic color. For the strongest chrome-style or polished-metal result, keep the Black Base smooth, uniform, and free from dust, fingerprints, dry spray texture, or heavy paint buildup before adding the next metallic layer.
