Vallejo Pigments - Dark Steel

Dark Steel is the pigment that gives bare metal that dull, gunmetal sheen — the look of worn tracks, chipped edges and burnished metalwork. Rubbed onto raised areas with a finger or brush it buffs to a subtle metallic shine, ideal for polished wear on tank tracks, blade edges and machinery. A slightly different beast to the earthy pigments, and brilliant for that industrial, metal-on-metal finish.

Best for

• Polished wear on tank tracks and metalwork
• Chipped, burnished edges on weapons and armour
• Industrial metal-on-metal effects

Buff it over a dark base and worn metal instantly catches the light like the real thing.

Worn metal with a genuine sheen. Pairs perfectly with Pigment Binder and earth pigments for grimy machinery.
