TIP
Use the included User's Guide to master medieval color theory. For authentic-looking armor, apply a base coat of 70.950 Black before layering 70.997 Silver. This creates deep, natural shadows in the recesses of chain mail and plate joints that a single metallic coat cannot replicate.
RECOMMENDATION
To achieve the superb matte finish intended for historical fabrics, apply the colors in thin, successive layers on a previously primed surface. The self-leveling formula ensures that even vibrant tones like Royal Purple and Royal Blue dry homogeneously without obscuring microscopic sculpt details.
