AK Interactive Watercolor Pencil Dark Aluminum (AK10035)

Metallic pencils are the fastest way to fake worn, handled metal without reaching for the airbrush, and this dark aluminium shade sits at the muted, gunmetal end of AK Interactive's watercolour pencil range. Draw it straight onto primed or painted surfaces to pick out scuffed edges and tired machinery.

How to use

• Draw along edges, rivets and high points where bare metal shows through
• Blend with a wet brush to soften the line into a sheen
• Works over primed plastic, resin and painted metallics alike

A few strokes along a worn footplate or a scuffed panel edge and the paintwork stops looking flat — just enough shine to read as handled metal, not a mirror finish.
