AK Interactive AK488 Xtreme Metal Matte Aluminium 30ml

AK Interactive AK488 Xtreme Metal Matte Aluminium Paint

AK Interactive AK488 Xtreme Metal Matte Aluminium is a restrained matte aluminium model paint for weathered aircraft, industrial machinery, vehicle components, and worn hard-surface panels. This Xtreme Metal Matte Aluminium shade creates an aluminium appearance with less visual shine than polished or bright metallic colors, making it useful for older, oxidized, and less reflective metal surfaces.

Key Features

• Low-Sheen Aluminium Effect: Paint weathered panels, machinery, aircraft structures, vehicle parts, and subdued metal components with a softer metallic appearance.
• Realistic Metallic Variation: Contrast matte aluminium sections with brighter aluminium, steel, or silver shades to create a more varied and realistic natural-metal finish.
• Weathering-Friendly Metallic Base: Supports dust, oil, grime, staining, and subtle worn metal effects for realistic scale-model finishes.
• Useful for Aged Metal Surfaces: A practical option for panels and components that should appear older, less polished, oxidized, or exposed to regular use.

Recommended Uses

AK Interactive Xtreme Metal Matte Aluminium is suitable for scale-model aircraft, military vehicles, industrial machinery, engines, worn panels, mechanical fittings, sci-fi hard-surface projects, and other components that need a subdued aluminium-metal finish.

Application Tips

Use Matte Aluminium on panels that should look older, more oxidized, or less reflective than nearby surfaces. Apply in light, controlled coats over a smooth prepared surface, then add darker metallic shades selectively around access panels, seams, mechanical recesses, and areas where dirt or wear would naturally collect.
