AK Interactive 3G White Colors Set – 6 Acrylic Paints for Realistic White Armor, Cloth, and Winter Camouflage
-
Full Shadow-to-Highlight Gradient – Six tones from deep Basalt Grey to pure White give you the intermediate values needed to build realistic depth on white surfaces without complex mixing.
-
Solves the Flat White Problem – Painting white that looks three-dimensional requires shading with specific grey values, not just applying white over primer. This set provides those exact greys — Reddish Grey and Basalt Grey for shadows, Warm Grey and Silver Grey for midtones — so the final White highlights read as bright rather than chalky.
-
Cures Resistant to Weathering Products – Once fully dried, the paint film holds up under oil washes, enamel streaking, and solvent-based techniques without lifting. You can weather directly over the white without sealing first.
-
High-Pigment 3rd Generation Formula – Anti-decanter particles keep pigment suspended in the bottle, so the paint applies smooth and matte with consistent coverage coat after coat. Compatible with brush and airbrush application.
📝 Product Description
White is one of the most technically demanding colors in miniature painting because a flat white surface looks unfinished — the human eye expects tonal variation to perceive depth. The AK Interactive 3rd Generation White Colors Set (AK11609) provides the exact intermediate grey values required to create a convincing 3D effect on any white surface. You start your basecoat with Silver Grey or Warm Grey, deepen the recesses with Basalt Grey or Reddish Grey, and reserve pure White strictly for the sharpest edge highlights.
The 3G formula delivers the high opacity of a lacquer with the cleanup simplicity of a water-based acrylic. It is thin enough for brush-painting delicate lace and insignias on historical figures, yet robust enough to thin down for airbrush work at roughly a 1:1 ratio with thinner. Whether you are painting white power armor, historical winter uniforms, vehicle winter camouflage, or medical markings on a scale kit, this set provides the consistent matte finish that high-end work demands.
💡 How to Use
Shake each bottle thoroughly before use to activate the anti-decanter particles. Start your basecoat with Silver Grey or Warm Grey over a grey or white primer. Push Basalt Grey into the deepest recesses as a shadow tone. Layer Warm Grey across the broad midtone surfaces using thin coats on a wet palette — two to three passes will build full opacity without hiding surface detail. Reserve AK11001 White strictly for final edge highlights. This approach is the standard technique professional figure painters use to make white armor and cloth look realistic rather than flat. For airbrush application, dilute with AK 3rd Gen Thinner (AK11500) to roughly the consistency of skimmed milk. Clean brushes immediately with water or AK Perfect Cleaner.
