Detail Painting with Mr.Hobby GSI-C28 Metallic Steel

The Mr.Hobby GSI-C28 metallic steel is a 10ml paint choice for modellers seeking an authentic metal appearance on small parts. Its formulation supports smooth layering to bring out the metallic texture on kit components and diorama elements.

Ideal Projects for This Steel Shade

Use GSI-C28 to add realistic steel tones to engines, fittings, and scale hardware. It is not aimed specifically at full RC car exteriors, but it performs well on plastic and resin detailing tasks where a metallic finish is needed.

Best Practices for a Clean Finish

Clean and prime the surface then shake the bottle thoroughly to re-suspend pigments. Thin sensibly for airbrushing, apply thin coats, and allow appropriate drying time between passes to prevent mottling.

Yes, with proper cleaning and priming resin accepts the metallic finish well. Test on a scrap piece to check adhesion and colour match.
A clear coat can protect the metallic layer and even out the sheen. Choose a clear compatible with the paint system and apply lightly to preserve the metal effect.
Thinning is often recommended for airbrush and for very fine brush strokes. Adjust the thinning ratio based on your tool and desired finish, testing on scrap first.
