Turbo Dork Paints – Metallic Acrylic Paint 20ml Bottle – Blue Steel
““I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to life than being really, really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.”
Blue Steel is a beautifully bright metallic gray with a hint of blue. Though not a full shift paint, you will see a hint of extra blue saturation on the edges, and a little more steel on the front facing areas. It is recommended that this paint be used over a black primer.
- 1. Shake a lot. Like more than you think.
- 2. Make sure the tip is clear before you squirt. Our bottles feature removable dropper tips, this allows you to save un-used paint by pouring it back into the bottle.
- 3. Use appropriate base coat color. The bottles say which base coat is best for said color. But generally most colorshifts and metallics look best over a black undercoat.
- 4. Apply in 2-4 thin layers. Do not try to apply in one layer. Do not allow the paint to pool. Allow each coat to fully dry before applying the next.
- 5. Turboshifts may be layered over each other, but not mixed together when wet.
- 6. Gloss washes work best on Turbo Dork paints. Finish with a satin or gloss varnish to protect if desired.
Turbo Dork paints are made of a mixture of pigments suspended in an acrylic medium plus additives that make them fast-drying, water-soluble when wet, and water-resistant when dry. The Metallics contain pigments and small mica flakes that create a sparkling effect on the paint surface making it look like metal.
Formulated for airbrush use, but may also be hand brushed.
