Frequently asked
What is the closest equivalent to Revell Steel/Eisen?
The closest same-finish match is Citadel Stormhost Silver at 96% color similarity.
What finish is Steel/Eisen?
Steel/Eisen 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 Steel/Eisen with?
Highlight Steel/Eisen toward Silver Metallic/Silber and shade it down into Steel/Eisen, both Revell paints in the same finish family.
