Gaia Notes Gaia Color Premium Series:
The Gaia Color Premium Series is a special series that creates colors that have never been expressed before by obtaining precious raw materials.
If raw materials are limited, it may be possible to produce only the first batch.
These are exquisite colors that will help you expand your range of expression like never before.
Specification:
This silver can be used to create a look that is as close as possible to plating.
It is diluted from the beginning so that it can be applied cleanly using an airbrush.
When painting with an airbrush, use less pressure and paint in several coats to avoid applying a thick coat all at once.
The plating look will be enhanced by painting the base black and smoothing it out.
The gloss will fade if you apply multiple coats.
Since it is a lacquer-based paint, it can be clear-coated with water-based paint.
Premium Plated Silver is the ultimate silver that achieves a plated look. It's effective when applied with an airbrush. The paint is pre-diluted, so please use it as is.
As it's a lacquer-based paint, it's possible to coat a water-based clear coat on top. Start with a black base coat, and apply multiple coats with gentle pressure, avoiding a thick layer. The smoother the base coat, the better the plated look can be achieved.
These are images of the Premium Plated Silver paint job. By applying multiple coats, you can achieve the following effects.
One coat. The black undercoat is faintly visible. It has a high gloss and a mirror effect. It has a gunmetal-like color.
Apply two to three coats. The black base will disappear, creating a plated silver finish with both a glossy and mirror-like effect.
After 4 or more coats, the glossiness will fade and the surface will resemble matte stainless steel, creating an interesting texture effect.
Things to keep in mind when painting Premium Plated Silver:
- It is already diluted, so do not dilute it any further.
- The plated look will be enhanced by blackening the base and then polishing it until it is smooth.
- Use lighter pressure and apply in several coats rather than one thick layer at a time.
- It dries quickly, so bleaching may occur if applied on a humid day.
- It can be clear-coated with water-based paint. Lacquer-based clear coats can also be applied if sprayed properly.
