Mr. Metal Color MC215 Copper

I painted this on a small Gundam thruster and polished it with a soft cloth—the reflection is so realistic it looks like actual copper sheeting. The key is brushing in one direction as instructed, which gave a smooth, streak-free mirror finish.

Brushed it over a dark base coat and the copper finish really came alive after a quick polish. The paint goes on smoothly if you keep your strokes consistent like the instructions say.

It does pick up a nice metallic sheen once you polish it, and brushing in one direction really does make a difference for a smooth finish. The copper tone is a bit darker than I pictured, but it still works well for small details on my kits.
