DB0056 Acrylic Paint - 56: Aluminium - Metallic - 14ml

Humbrol No. 56 Aluminium is a Metallic Acrylic paint supplied in a 14ml dropper bottle. Water-based and developed for plastic model kits and resin models, it also takes to a wide range of other substrates. The tone is deliberately restrained, giving a scale-realistic aluminium rather than a chrome-like shine. Humbrol has been the modeller's standard for decades.

Ideal For

• Aluminium dope and bare-metal finishes on scale aircraft

How to Use

Brush straight from the bottle or a palette, or airbrush after thinning with water or Acrylic Thinners at 2 parts paint to 1 part thinner. Two thin coats are preferable to one thick coat, so let the first coat hard-dry before applying the second. Warning: not suitable for children under 3 years.
