Micro-Mark Radar absorbing Light Gray Paint, 20ml
- Modern stealth-era color for aircraft using radar-absorbent material (RAM) coatings
- Used on F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning II, B-2 Spirit, and other low-observable platforms
- Flat, matte finish reduces both visual and radar signatures
- Made in the USA with durable, high-pigment acrylic for scale modeling accuracy
Description
Radar Absorbing Light Gray is a flat, soft gray tone developed to replicate the specialized paint used on U.S. stealth aircraft. These low-observable coatings help minimize radar reflection while offering subdued visibility to the naked eye. This modern shade is critical for modelers seeking authenticity when building 5th-generation fighters or stealth bombers operating in 21st-century combat environments.

Color Description
Radar Absorbing Light Gray is a cool, matte gray with a hint of blue or green depending on lighting—mimicking the angular, non-reflective surfaces of stealth aircraft. It corresponds approximately to modern RAM coatings used on operational aircraft, though the exact formulation remains classified. RAM coatings (Radar-Absorbent Material coatings) are specialized paints or surface treatments designed to reduce an object’s radar signature—meaning they help aircraft, ships, or vehicles "absorb" radar waves rather than reflect them, which makes them harder to detect on radar. This paint is ideal for representing the weathered, non-metallic look of stealth technology in scale.
This color is currently in use across U.S. and allied air forces:
• Seen on 5th-generation stealth aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II
• Used on B-2 Spirit bombers, UAVs, and low-observable naval aircraft
• Frequently combined with darker RAM grays for faceted surface panels and edge treatment
Modeling Uses
• Paint modern stealth aircraft with a realistic low-observable finish
• Ideal for UAVs, modern fighters, and sci-fi stealth vehicles
• Use matte sealer to maintain the flat, non-reflective appearance
