Color Description
Aluminum delivers a cool silver tone with subtle bluish undertones and just enough sheen to suggest polished metal without going glossy. It’s perfect for capturing the look of raw aluminum, often seen on vintage aircraft, space vehicles, or exposed machine parts. When combined with darker metallics or weathering washes, it provides dimensional realism for panels, hulls, and riveted armor.
This color is widely used in a range of modeling applications:
• WWII and Cold War-era aircraft, including the P-51 Mustang, B-17 Flying Fortress, and F-86 Sabre
• Jet engines, exhaust ports, and landing gear
• Sci-fi starships, space probes, and robotics
• Civilian aircraft, trains, and industrial equipment
Modeling Uses
• Paint aircraft fuselages with a true-to-life bare metal finish
• Highlight raised areas on machines, tools, or tanks for metallic edge wear
• Drybrush over Gunmetal or Iron for chipped paint effects
• Combine with Clear Coaat for a polished finish or with Black Wash for panel line definition
