Highly recommend using the Alclad Black Base in conjunction with the Alclad metallic finishes if you are trying to achieve the natural metal finish on an aircraft model. I did not have to thin this paint before using with my airbrush and clean up was super easy using Lacquer Thinner.

This is the first Alclad product I have tried. Instantly, I wanted more Alclad metallic paints for my airbrush. The Gloss Black Base works wonderfully on tank tracks and as a base for metallic finishes. Really excellent paint.

This was a great black base coat of paint for high Shine metallic paint such as alclad chrome paint.
