AK Interactive Weathering Metal Burnishing Fluid
AK Interactive Weathering Metal Burnishing Fluid is a chemical solution designed to darken and oxidize bare metal parts, creating a realistic, natural metal finish without paint. It is specifically formulated for use on white metal and compatible metal components used in scale modeling.
Product Info
This burnishing fluid reacts directly with metal surfaces to produce a darkened, aged appearance that closely resembles real oxidized steel. The result is a durable, matte metal finish that preserves surface texture and fine detail, making it an effective alternative to painted metallic effects.
Application and Use
Metal parts should be cleaned prior to use to ensure an even reaction. Components are immersed in the fluid until the desired tone is achieved, then rinsed thoroughly with water to stop the chemical process. The finish can be further enhanced with dry brushing, pigments, or additional weathering products. Because the effect is chemical rather than painted, it will not obscure detail or chip like paint.
Ideal Applications
This product is ideal for metal tracks, chain, tools, weapons, and exposed mechanical parts on military vehicles, figures, and dioramas. It is particularly useful for modelers seeking authentic metal finishes with minimal effort and maximum realism.
AK Interactive Weathering Metal Burnishing Fluid offers a practical, reliable method for achieving realistic metal tones and is a valuable addition to any advanced weathering workflow.
