Colours like this have been used on special-order Japanese supercars, including a unique Lexus LFA specification, and on luxury saloons. The effect is subtle but gives a model a lot of depth under the lights. For modelers, it is a great alternative to plain black on supercars, luxury cars and custom builds in 1:24 and 1:18, especially with a deep gloss clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eThe problem with metallics\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMetallics are unforgiving. Spray too wet and the flake settles unevenly into dark patches and stripes; spray too dry and the surface goes grainy. Keep the airbrush moving at a constant distance and use slightly drier, well-atomised passes for an even flake across the whole body.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to apply\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake the bottle for at least 60 seconds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrime with a black primer and let it dry fully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirbrush straight from the bottle, no thinning needed.
