Kaleido metallic paints bring metal shades with a lustre meant for surfaces that should read as smoothed, worked metal. Tungsten steel is a good illustration of the character of the range: a cold dark grey with a metallic reflection, at home on mechanisms, gun barrels, girders and the technical parts of machinery. As with every metal paint, the ground decides how the shade turns out.
Metal pigment sits on top of the surface and amplifies anything underneath it, so polish the area before spraying and seal it with a dark gloss base. Work at low pressure in two or three light passes and do not go back into a pass that has begun to set, or the pigment is raked into a matt smear. Gloss colour shades in the same vein are in Kaleido paints, and metal finishes across the whole offer can be compared in metallic model paints.
