ulvdemon Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Was wondering if this is operator error on my part or am I just missing something? I've sprayed the Vallejo Metal Color Steel a couple of time sand it seems almost as dark as the black primer I've sprayed over. am I doing something wrong on my end or am I just expecting it to be lighter then it should be? I've attached an example. Maybe the lighting is too harsh that is causing the issue? Am help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I spray all of the vallejo metal colors and i have the same opinion, steel is way too dark. Even their model air is toodark imo. I moved to a different paint but it is possible to blend them. I find with the metal colors that they don’t stay mixed together well tho and you are constantly trying to stir them so that they spray ok.

dmthamade Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Like the Vallejo metal air colors except the Steel. Doesn't make a lot of sense, that one. Like you said, too dark. My own opinion, Testors Metalizer Steel looks closer to the truth, i guess age, corrosion, type would make color different. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvdemon Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Might have to go ahead and pick up the Jet Exhaust color and go with that. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I picked up a bottle of Burnt Iron a while back but only used it last week, for the first time. If this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
