                        Agree with Rick.  Airbrushing is the only way to go with Alclad to get the realistic metal finishes.  But I've hand brushed small parts like machine gun barrels in some of my armor builds.  Requires several coats but there's just something about the finish of Alclad that the metallic acrylics can't match.  I can't see hand brushing anything other than small parts like that, though.

                        It's designed to be used in an Airbrush.  I've never tried to brush paint with it, but I think it would be a disaster.

                        Regards,  Rick

                        Can you brush paint Alclad or do you have to airbrush it?

                        Any help appreciated

                        Thanks
