What is the closest equivalent to Revell Aluminium?
The closest same-finish match is The Army Painter Shining Silver at 83% color similarity.
What finish is Aluminium?
Aluminium is a metallic paint with a silver tone and a reflective finish. Because the shine comes from metal flake, a flat paint can match the color and still be wrong for the job, which is why cross-finish matches here are references rather than swaps.
What do I highlight and shade Aluminium with?
Highlight Aluminium toward Silver and shade it down into Silver Metallic/Silber, both Revell paints in the same finish family.
