Description
Air Steel Blue delivers the same rich, cool-toned blue-gray as the brush-on version (Item #29379), but is formulated specifically for airbrush use—no thinning required. It sprays smoothly with consistent opacity, making it perfect for steel hulls, aircraft bodies, armored plating, and sci-fi elements. The finish is matte with a faint sheen, ideal for realistic metallic simulation without high gloss.
Modeling Use Cases
• Naval & Air Models: Aircraft underside panels, interior ship structures, and carrier deck machinery
• Science Fiction Builds: Drones, power armor, spacecraft plating
• Industrial Dioramas: Steel beams, warehouse supports, weathered scaffolding
• Railroad Scenes: Steel bridges, freight equipment, wheel chassis
• Armor & Military Gear: Mortars, field equipment, artillery housing
Suggested Pairings
• Gunmetal or Sabre Steel for drybrushed highlights on weaponry or plating
• Tarnished Black or Engine Black for shadow accents or panel lining
• Reefer Gray for aged fade effects on oxidized steel
• Depot Buff for contrast when painting rail support infrastructure
Airbrush Tips
- Spray at 18–22 PSI for optimal control
- Allow thin layers to build to full coverage
- Ideal base for chipping fluid or salt-weathering techniques
- Use over black or dark gray primer to deepen the metallic tone
