Versatile Matte Metallic Paint

The Mr.Hobby SM212 Super Metallic Super Matt Aluminium is a compact 10ml paint that gives a clean, low-gloss metal effect for a wide range of hobby projects. Its formula produces an even, non-reflective metallic tone that is user friendly for both newcomers and seasoned modellers.

Best Uses for SM212

This finish works well on painted plastic kits, resin castings and scenic elements where a subdued metal look is wanted. It is not intended for bare polycarbonate RC bodies, but it suits many static modelling surfaces and diorama accents.

Tips for Smooth Results

Prepare the surface by cleaning and priming before painting. Shake the bottle thoroughly to mix the pigments. Apply thin, even coats rather than a single heavy layer and allow adequate drying time between coats to avoid lift or smudging.

Can I use this on polycarbonate RC shells?

This paint is not recommended for direct use on polycarbonate (Lexan) RC bodies. Polycarbonate needs flexible, polycarbonate-specific paints to avoid cracking and adhesion issues.

How should I store an open bottle?

Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and ensure the cap is sealed tightly to slow solvent evaporation and maintain performance.

Do I need to thin it for airbrushing?

For airbrushing, thin the paint with a compatible lacquer-style thinner and test spray on scrap first to find the right ratio. Thinning helps achieve a smooth, even spray without clogging the nozzle.
