Alclad II Regular Metallic Lacquer Paints
Alclad II Regular Finishes are premium lacquer-based metallic paints made for realistic aluminum and metal effects on scale models. Designed for airbrush application, these finishes provide smooth, consistent metallic coverage without the extreme reflectivity of chrome-style paints.
These colors are ideal for aircraft skins, locomotives, armor, automotive details, and industrial subjects where realistic metal tone and scale appearance matter most.
Why Modelers Choose Regular Finishes
- Realistic aluminum and metal tones
- Excellent for natural metal aircraft and rail equipment
- Smooth, airbrush-ready lacquer formula

Regular metallics versus high shine
Regular metallic finishes are a useful starting point for aircraft panel variation, exposed metal parts, and industrial equipment because they emphasize metallic tone rather than a mirror-like reflection. For a more polished look, compare them with High Shine colors. Use clean, smooth preparation and build up thin coats; test combinations of primer, paint, and clear on scrap before finishing a model.
