Alclad ALC 104 Pale Burnt Metal 30ml – model lacquer for metallic effects

Alclad ALC 104 Pale Burnt Metal 30ml is a high-quality modeling lacquer designed to replicate the effect of darkened, burnt metal – with a subtly warm tint. This specialist product from Alclad II has been created for the most demanding modelers who expect hyperrealistic finishes on metal surfaces in plastic, resin, metal, or 3D-printed models. The lacquer is ideal for painting aircraft exhaust parts, engine sections, manifolds, or areas of vehicle bodies that naturally show signs of use and exposure to high temperatures.

• Volume: 30 ml
• Product type: lacquer-based metallic paint, dedicated for airbrush application
• Recommended primer: semi-gloss or gloss (e.g., Alclad black primer, black acrylic, or enamel)
• Optimal working pressure: 1–1.5 atm
• Recommended distance from painted surface: 4–6 cm
• Application technique: smooth “brush stroke” movements – not classic misting
• No need for polishing, but the tonal transition effect can be enhanced by gently smoothing with a soft cloth

The Alclad Pale Burnt Metal product is especially recommended for aircraft models (e.g., WWII and Cold War fighter engines), sports cars, motorcycles, and armored vehicles presented in operational dioramas.
It works excellently with models in 1/24, 1/32, 1/35, 1/48, and 1/72 scales. It will enrich any replica with a unique, authentic effect of aged, weathered surfaces.

Alclad ALC 104 lacquer is based on high-grade pigments and hobby solvents, which gives it excellent mechanical durability and depth of metallic sheen. It is compatible with a wide range of primers and finishing paints, including washes, oils, and protective varnishes.

I highly recommend Alclad ALC 104 Pale Burnt Metal to any modeler who cares about details and true realism in replicating metal surfaces. It is suitable for aircraft, armored, and car modeling. The perfect choice for customizing any model!
