AK Interactive Xtreme Metal Gun Metal 30ml

The AK Interactive Xtreme Metal Gun Metal (30ml) is a lacquer-based high-performance metallic paint designed to reproduce a realistic dark steel finish on scale models. Part of the Xtreme Metal range, it uses ultra-fine metallic pigments to create a smooth, highly convincing metal surface with excellent depth and reflectivity.

This colour is ideal for weapons, mechanical components, aircraft details, and any area where a dark, slightly worn steel appearance is required.

About Xtreme Metal Gun Metal

Gun Metal is formulated to represent darkened steel surfaces often found on machinery, armaments, and structural metal parts. Unlike standard acrylic metallic paints, it delivers a more natural metallic sheen with superior smoothness and durability.

Once applied and cured, it can be lightly polished to enhance realism or left matte for a more weathered industrial look.
