Ultramarine Black Aston Martin
Description
🎯 Why modelers keep Ultramarine Black Aston Martin on the shelf: this is the shade builders reach for when a factory-accurate finish has to survive close-up scrutiny — from contest tables to camera macro shots.
Ultramarine Black Aston Martin represents a colour tied to Aston Martin's competition and road-car heritage. Aston Martin's racing cars are historically associated with British Racing Green, a shade tied to the UK's national racing colour designation that dates back to the earliest days of international motorsport.
Ultramarine Black Aston Martin is an acrylic paint that is water-based and formulated for brush and airbrush use alike. Its pigment grind is tuned for 1:24 to 1:72 scale kits and 1:32/1:35 figures, giving smooth coverage without swamping raised detail, and it cleans up with water rather than solvents.
💡 Laboratory Application Tips
- Preparation (Primer): A Black or Grey Primer works best under this dark tone, reinforcing depth and helping the colour reach full density in fewer coats.
- Painting Technique: Thin slightly with water or acrylic thinner and apply in several light passes rather than one heavy coat; acrylics dry fast, so overlapping strokes should be kept light to avoid lifting the layer underneath.
- Finishing: Seal the finished colour with an acrylic-compatible Gloss, Satin or Matte varnish once fully cured, to protect the surface and even out the sheen before weathering or decals.
⚠️ Chromatic Fidelity Notes
Real Scale vs. Miniature: This formula is adjusted to counter the "scale effect," so light reflection on the miniature stays proportional to the real vehicle or object rather than looking artificially pale or dark.
Visual note: Product photos are for reference only. The full three-dimensional depth and true pigment brilliance only become visible once the model is painted and properly clearcoated.
