True Metal (PASTE) - being candid, it is utter rubbish and a waste of money as a model product (IMHO). Even the company promo video on YT doesn't give you any proper close in's of the effects and as for some other magazine or online 'reviews', well, given many get this stuff gratis from the company, you can draw your own inferences for the impartiality or accuracy of those. It is actually a coloured wax that smears and goes on unevenly - the 'Aluminium' one was also very 'gritty' compared to the others - whether applied with a finger or even something like a cotton bud. Nothing I have used seals it either (and keeps it looking metallic) and if left 'as is', then every time you touch it with your hands, it comes off on your fingers quite noticeably. I have used their aluminium and steel pastes which were poor and left streaking everywhere and their brass and copper were less than hopeless and just seemed to go a greenish tinge with virtually no covering power whatsoever.
Please note however that the 'True Metal' bottled metal paints by the same company are superb and spray beautifully; so much so that I have now abandoned Alclad in favour of them......they are that good!
If anyone else thinks they are great and have mastered them then kudos to you and I would welcome a demo (close up and no with soft focus) to explain how to use this product 'properly'.
If you were not in Switzerland Eric, then I would gladly have sent you my virtually full tubes with pleasure and free of charge to save you wasting your money!
To reiterate, if you want excellent, easy to do and realistic metal effects, use the AK metal sprays in the bottle and you won't be disappointed!

to clean the tray. Other paint colours can be added to change the base colour if you want.
