...Lifecolor Acrylic Paints, via The Airbrush Company

A recent release with a set of 6 metallic colours, all geared to painting model shell cases. Six high quality acrylic paints from LifeColor for painting metallic finishes on shell cases and other metallic surfaces. I've tried them out on some WW2 era shell cases along with Napoleonic era cannon and on some 28mm figures (Ancients) and have been happy with the results, all brush painted. The important thing is to ensure the pots are thoroughly mixed (shaken) first.

Water soluble acrylic colours for modelling and hobby. Life Color is excellent for paint brushing or airbrushing on plastic, resin, metal, vinyl, wood, cloth and ceramic.

This set includes:

UA 786 Polished Steel Modern Shell
UA 787 Laquered Steel Late WWII German Shell
UA 788 New Shell Brass Shade 1
UA 789 New Shell Brass Shade 2
UA 790 New Shell Brass Shade 3
UA 791 Spent Shell Burned Brass

Using LifeColour

Clean surfaces to be painted
For airbrushing, dilute the colour to a milky consistency using water or LifeColor Thinner.
Airbrush at very low pressures. (Iwata airbrushes give the best performance and atomisation at low pressures.)
Apply colour in thin coats with a brush or airbrush
Allow to dry completely between coats
Clean your airbrush with airbrush cleaner and flush through with water

Thanks to The Airbrush Company, the UK importers for our sample.
