AK Interactive AK476 Xtreme Metal Steel Paint
AK Interactive AK476 Xtreme Metal Steel is a neutral steel metallic model paint for weapons, tools, tracks, armor fittings, mechanical assemblies, and industrial scale-model details. This Xtreme Metal Steel shade gives components a clean fabricated-metal appearance before weathering, oil stains, chipping, rust, or grime effects are added.
Key Features
- Neutral Steel Metallic Finish: Create convincing steel effects on tools, machinery, weapons, tracks, brackets, armor fittings, and detailed mechanical components.
- Clean Fabricated-Metal Appearance: A useful base shade for parts that should look like manufactured steel before additional weathering or surface effects are applied.
- Controlled Panel Coverage: Apply thin layers while helping retain bolts, seams, rivets, panel lines, and mechanical texture.
- Weathering-Ready Metallic Base: Use under oils, rust tones, grime washes, dark shading, and restrained metal edge wear.
Recommended Uses
AK Interactive Xtreme Metal Steel is suitable for military scale models, miniature weapons, tank tracks, armor fittings, engine parts, machinery, industrial scenery, vehicle components, robot models, sci-fi hard-surface projects, and other details that require a neutral steel-metal finish.
Application Tips
Apply thin, even coats over a clean, smooth prepared surface and keep heavier coverage away from deep recesses. After the paint has cured, use darker washes around bolts, seams, and mechanical joints, then add limited brighter metallic highlights to exposed edges and contact points for more realistic steel wear.
