Collection: Alclad II Transparent Paints

Alclad II Transparent Paints for Tinting and Layered Model Finishes

Alclad II Transparent Paints are made for tinting, shading, and subtly changing metallic finishes without hiding molded detail. They are useful for layered effects, color variation, panel tinting, and custom finishing work on aircraft, armor, automotive, sci-fi, and general scale models.

Because transparent colors let underlying metallic tones show through, they are especially useful when you want more depth than a standard opaque paint can provide. They also pair well with brighter metallic bases and advanced airbrush work.

How Modelers Use Transparent Paints

• Tint metallic finishes on aircraft, armor, and custom subjects
• Add panel shading and tonal variation
• Layer over metallic base coats for custom effects
• Create more depth on display models and fine details

Use Primers for surface prep, build your base with Regular Finishes or High Shine, then add Transparent colors as needed. You can also combine them with Candy Colors, protect the finish with Clear Coats, or return to the main Alclad II collection.
