Modellers use it for fuel and brake lines, radiators, engine plumbing, exhaust tips and heat-stained parts on cars and motorcycles, for ship fittings and hull plating on sailing ships, and for boilers and pipes on steam engines. It is also handy for spent shell cases and electrical wiring. A grey or black primer gives it depth and helps it look like metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eThe problem with metallics\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMetallics are unforgiving.
