AK Interactive XTREME METAL Dark Aluminium (AK480)
A bare-metal airframe is never one flat shade of silver — real aluminium shifts panel by panel, and Dark Aluminium is the tone you reach for to knock things back and build that variation. Sprayed neat through an airbrush it lays down a fine, honest metal finish with a slightly gunmetal lean, the sort of depth that makes a natural-metal build actually read as metal rather than paint. Once you've used a proper Xtreme Metal you won't go back to hobby silver.
At a glance
- AK Xtreme Metal metallic — reference AK480
- Ultra-fine pigments for a genuine metal look, not a grey approximation
- Ultra-high coverage with a hard-wearing, weather-resistant film
- Airbrush-ready; no primer required and won't attack the plastic
- Takes a varnish without dulling the sheen
Best for
- Darker panels and worn areas on natural-metal aircraft
- Adding contrast alongside brighter aluminium tones
- AFV and vehicle detail that wants a subtle, gunmetal-leaning shine
Mask up, vary your panels and watch a flat silver fuselage turn into something that catches the light like the real thing.
Metal finishes live and die on contrast. Pair it with a brighter tone from the Xtreme Metal range and keep a bottle of thinner and cleaner handy for the airbrush.
