ALCLAD II paints offer a wide range of colours designed specifically for modellers. Painting models with these paints creates a unique coating on the painted surface, which is characterized by hardness and resistance to both mechanical and chemical factors. The company initially offered mainly paints for creating surfaces imitating metals, many types of metals from aluminium to steel. At present, the offer is much larger, including various colours and shades. The paints are based on varnish, hence they have an intense smell, they are rare, the pigment often settles to the bottom, which is why the manufacturer places a stainless steel ball in the packaging. The glass bottle contains 30 ml of thin and efficient paint. The name comes from the word Alclad, meaning a corrosion-resistant aluminium sheet made of high-purity aluminium surface layers, metallurgically bonded (wound) to a high-strength aluminium alloy core material. It has a melting point of around 500 degrees Celsius. Alclad is a trademark of Alcoa, but the term is also used generally. When using a primer, they are very efficient, usually a double layer is sufficient. The paints are not the cheapest, but the effect you can get with them is worth the price.
