What it is used for
The Playmarker Gun Metal is designed to apply the iconic Gun Metal metallic tone quickly, cleanly and with full control. It is especially useful in situations where precision and convenience matter more than setting up your full painting kit.
- Painting weapons, cannons, hatches and metal parts on scale military vehicle and aircraft models.
- Applying base colour or metallic details on wargame miniatures such as troops, mechs or equipment.
- Adding metallic layers to diorama figures with a satin final finish.
- Touching up specific areas without needing an airbrush or palette.
- Use in cosplay and SFX to give a metallic look to accessories, armour and props.
- Quick colour sketches and paint scheme tests before applying the final coat.
How to use it
- Surface preparation: Make sure the piece is clean and free of dust or grease. It is recommended to apply a white primer before using the Playmarker Gun Metal to achieve maximum coverage and adhesion.
- Priming the marker: Before first use, shake the marker and gently press the tip against a test surface until the paint flows evenly.
- Application: Apply the colour with smooth, controlled strokes directly onto the surface. You can build up layers once the previous one is dry to increase opacity, or work transitions using wet blending.
- Drying between layers: Drying is fast. Wait until each layer is completely dry before applying the next one or before adding any weathering effects on top.
- Finishing and protection: Once painting is complete, you can apply any varnish (matt, satin or gloss) without risking damage to the paint.
- Cleaning: Wipe the tip with a damp cloth after each use. If the tip deteriorates, replace it with a compatible new tip.
Usage tips
Thin, even layers
Although Gun Metal has good coverage, it is better to apply two thin layers rather than a single thick one. Thin layers dry faster, reduce the risk of build-up in recesses and deliver a more even finish. Over a white primer, two passes are usually enough.
Compatible with weathering and varnishes
Once the Playmarker Gun Metal paint is dry, you can work over it with any weathering or texturing product from the AK Interactive range without fear of lifting the base coat. Likewise, any final varnish is compatible, giving you complete freedom to adjust the finish to whatever your project requires.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a primer before using an acrylic paint marker?
It is not strictly required, but it is highly recommended. AK Interactive advises applying a white primer before using the Playmarker Gun Metal to achieve maximum adhesion and coverage. Over primer, the Gun Metal colour covers more evenly and in fewer layers.
Can the marker paint be mixed with other acrylic paints?
Yes. The water-based acrylic formula of the Playmarker Gun Metal is compatible with all other water-based acrylic paints in the AK Interactive range. You can blend wet-on-wet directly on the surface to achieve transitions and shading effects.
Is it water resistant once dry?
Yes. Once cured, the Playmarker Gun Metal paint is resistant to water, heat and the everyday handling of miniatures and models. Even so, applying a final protective varnish is recommended, especially on pieces that will see heavy use such as wargame miniatures.
Can I apply weathering effects over this marker?
Yes, without any problem. The Playmarker Gun Metal accepts any AK Interactive weathering product applied on top once the base layer is dry. There is no risk of the weathering lifting or damaging the base paint.
What type of varnish can I seal it with?
The Playmarker Gun Metal is compatible with any type of varnish: matt, satin or gloss. You can use any varnish from the AK Interactive range to adjust the final finish without any risk of reactivating or damaging the paint.
