Real Heavy Metal Worn Metal Base from Ionic Smart Colours is the optimal choice for creating a realistic and consistent metallic finish with tones of used and worn steel. Ionic's logical 3-step system simplifies the work process considerably giving you consistent and professional results on everything from heavy knightly armour to industrial machine components.

Worn steel finish in three logical steps
Worn Metal Base is designed to mimic the heavy saturated lustre of weathered steel. Thanks to the natural mica pigments the paint has an extremely homogeneous coverage with a lustre that feels both massive and genuine. The system guides you methodically through the painting: from a solid base of worn steel via a specially formulated metallic wash that creates definition in every detail to the bright highlights that give the surface its reflective and sharp character.

Features & Benefits:

• High coverage (IONIC-0817): The primary metallic colour with a deep and saturated steel tone that forms the foundation for the entire set and covers effectively from the first coat.
• Natural mica pigments: Ensures a fine-grained surface without lumps giving a more realistic metallic finish on small-scale models.
• Smart Packaging: Comes in a convenient 20ml bottle with a smooth opening mechanism that can be operated with one hand for easy dosing at the palette.
• Technical versatility: Water-based acrylic formula that works great for both brush and airbrush as well as techniques such as dry brushing and weathering.
