About product

The silver shade Diamond Silver

XC01 Diamond Silver is a silver paint from the Gunze Mr.Color range. The XC code groups shades named after precious stones, and this one too is above all a showy shade: the silver in it is carried by fine reflective particles, which give the paint its sheen and at the same time dictate how it has to be handled.

Field of use

On models, silver is used on the natural metal surfaces of aircraft, on wheel disks, exhausts and outlets, on small metal accessories and on the surfaces of robot kits. It also serves well as a base for chipping: the painted area is covered with the base shade and, once that has dried, it is carefully rubbed away in the exposed spots, so that the metal comes out from underneath.

  • A silver shade from the Gunze Mr.Color range, code XC01
  • It contains fine reflective particles, which have to be stirred in
  • It calls for a smooth, degreased base
  • It is best applied with an airbrush in thin coats
  • Usable as a base for chipping

How to work with it

Stir the contents really thoroughly, as the reflective particles settle faster than ordinary pigment. The base has to be smooth, because on a rough surface the particles settle unevenly and the area will be blotchy. Apply thin, even coats and do not go over a finished area again with a brush: the particles line up with the stroke and the mark stays visible. A dried metallic layer is sensitive to abrasion and to masking tape, so protect it with a coat of clear varnish before the next steps.

The package

The package holds only the jar of paint. The model, thinner, brushes and an airbrush are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The reflective particles settle unevenly on a rough surface and the area then looks blotchy. So smooth and degrease the base before painting.

It can, but do not go over a finished area again. The particles line up with the stroke of the brush and the mark stays visible. A more even result comes from an airbrush.

Varnish the dried metallic layer with a clear varnish. Without it the layer is sensitive to abrasion and masking tape can damage it.

Yes. Paint the area silver, cover it with the base shade and, once that has dried, carefully rub it away in the exposed spots.
