AK Interactive Xtreme Metal Metallic Blue

The AK Interactive Xtreme Metal Metallic Blue (30ml) is a lacquer-based high-performance metallic paint designed to produce a vivid, reflective blue metallic finish on scale models. It is part of the Xtreme Metal range, which is known for ultra-fine metallic pigments that create smooth, realistic metal-like surfaces suitable for aircraft, sci-fi, and custom finishes.

This colour is especially popular for fantasy schemes, sci-fi panels, custom automotive styling, and decorative aircraft liveries, where a coloured metallic sheen is desired rather than a natural metal tone.

About Xtreme Metal Metallic Blue

Metallic Blue is formulated to behave like a true metallic paint rather than a standard acrylic colour. Once airbrushed, it produces a high-gloss, reflective blue metal effect with strong coverage and a smooth finish.

It is often used where visual impact matters more than strict realism, such as:

• sci-fi spacecraft panels

• display models

• custom-painted aircraft schemes

• decorative mechanical parts
