AK Interactive 3GEN Oily Steel is a high-quality metallic acrylic paint designed to reproduce the appearance of dark, slightly oily steel on scale models, miniatures, and dioramas.

Its rich metallic tone is ideal for painting machinery, engines, weapons, tools, mechanical components, and exposed metal surfaces. The subdued steel finish provides a realistic alternative to brighter silver and aluminum colors, particularly on industrial equipment and military models.

Part of AK Interactive's 3rd Generation Acrylic Metallic range, Oily Steel features ultrafine metallic pigments for smooth coverage, excellent detail definition, and a convincing metallic finish. Its water-based formula is suitable for both brush and airbrush application. 

Application Notes

• Apply multiple thin coats for smooth, consistent metallic coverage.

• Use darker washes to enhance mechanical details and recessed areas.

• Add subtle highlights with Natural Steel or Silver to create contrast and realistic metal wear.
