After having tried various paint brands for painting and airbrushing natural metal finishes on WW II model aircraft, I tried the AK interactive Xtreme paints, not without some reservations. I was finding that various problems arose with certain brand name paints -- either they were not entirely convincing in terms of metal-like finishes, and-or, they were fussy to apply and were too sensitive for masking and handling. I was very pleasantly surprised with the results I was able to achieve with the AK products. These paints are user friendly and as such are good for beginners or intermediate levels and at the same time, should satisfy the more experienced modellers. Airbrushing was smooth and easy to control and didn't cause 'blushing' or 'blooming' if too heavy a coat was applied (within reason of course). They are an enamel based paint and therefor do give off some odor, but they are much less noxious compared to some lacquers. To be sure good ventilation and face masks are a requisite. The Xtreme metal paints can be sprayed directly from the bottle and do not require thinning. The thinner and cleaner made expressly for this line of paints is also highly recommended -- clean up is a snap with this product. Finally, the Xtreme metal paints are not cheap, but the bottles are more generous than some competitors and dollar for dollar, I think they work out quite favorably.Read full review

The paint is to thin, to water like, it needs to be thicker and cover better and it doesn't shine like chrome.
