AK Learning 5 Metallics Vol 2 (AK508)

Metallic finishes trip up a lot of painters — overdo the metallic paint and a tank looks like tinfoil, underdo it and everything reads flat grey. AK Learning 5: Metallics Vol. 2 sorts that out: an 87-page, English-language guide from AK Interactive covering bare steel, worn edges, polished brass and burnished finishes, plus the non-metallic-metal (NMM) technique for painting convincing metal without a drop of metallic paint. All explained through clear step-by-step photography, not dense theory.

Best for

• Painters chasing convincing steel, gunmetal and brass finishes
• Anyone wanting to learn NMM from scratch
• A handy technique reference to keep at the bench

Work through it once and metallics stop being the stage of a build you dread.

A proper technique guide, not just a picture book. Pick up a set of AK Interactive metallic paints to put it straight into practice.
