                        Hello all!

                        What does a non-buffing paint color mean such as "non-buffing gunmetal"?

                        Thanks...

                        Some paints are formulated so that they can be polished (or "buffed") after application to achieve the desired sheen. Typical of these are Testors ModelMaster Metalizers. They come in two types, buffing and non-buffing. Non-buffing metallic paints are left as they are applied.

                        Non buff is used as the last application in the panelization process .A thick looking and pale setting.You can use an Artis stump to rub stress lines into the non buff area.
