Application and effects

Alclad ALC 112 STEEL is specially formulated for highly realistic representation of steel surfaces, commonly found in 20th and 21st century military modeling. Perfect for painting armament and armor parts in 1/35, 1/48, 1/72 and other scales. The paint also works excellently in building replicas of cars, airplanes, or motorcycles – wherever a subtle sheen and realistic steel texture are needed. It shows best results when applied over a semi-matte or glossy primer, which allows the pigment to lay evenly and provides a deep, semi-transparent finish.

Application and recommendations

The suggested air pressure is 1-1.5 atm, and the distance from the airbrush nozzle to the painted surface should be 4–6 cm. Apply using strokes similar to brush painting for precise control of the effect. Polishing with a soft cloth can produce an even deeper, satin gloss, although it is not required. Thanks to its easy application and high coverage, the paint is well-suited for both intermediate and experienced modelers – recommended difficulty level 2/5.
