Scalecoat Metallic Model Paint

Find Scalecoat metallic model paint for metal-colored details, locomotive components and specialty paint schemes. The catalog includes named colors such as Silver, Aluminum, Gold, Metallic Graphite & Oil, Metallic Smoke Box Gray and EMD Demo Blue (Metallic). Choose the specific color and part number your project requires rather than treating every metallic finish as the same shade.

Choose the metallic appearance for the part

Silver, aluminum and gold are different color choices, while graphite and smokebox colors offer alternatives for darker locomotive details. Metallic blue is a colored metallic option for projects calling for that finish. Use your prototype or kit reference to decide which named color belongs on the model.

Evaluate a cured sample under your layout or display lighting. The surface underneath the paint and your application can influence the visible metallic appearance. A metallic color name does not by itself specify the final sheen or promise a polished-metal effect.

Match the paint system and test the clear finish

Select Scalecoat I for brass and metal projects or Scalecoat II for plastic models, and use the corresponding dedicated thinner. If you plan to add lettering or a clear coat, test the full finish first: a topcoat can change the appearance you judged on an uncoated paint sample.
