AK Interactive XTREME METAL Matte Aluminium (AK488)
Not every metal surface gleams — plenty of aircraft skin has a soft, low-sheen finish, and that's exactly what Matte Aluminium delivers. Airbrushed on it gives a fine, muted metallic that reads as bare aluminium without the mirror shine, perfect for the panels you want to sit back rather than flash in the light. Blend it against your polished tones and the contrast does half the weathering for you.
