Solution Book 27 How to Paint Metal Finished Aircraft A.MIG-6532 is a complete visual guide to painting and weathering aircraft with metallic finishes. Written by renowned modeller Diego Quijano, this 71-page softcover book explores a full range of techniques used to reproduce natural metal and silver-painted surfaces on both military and civilian aircraft. Using detailed step-by-step photography and clear sequencing, it demonstrates how to achieve a flawless, realistic metal effect while adding depth and subtle weathering for authenticity.

From applying smooth base coats to layering reflective tones, panel shading, and controlled wear, the book walks readers through every phase of achieving a convincing metallic finish. Each technique is presented with precision, showing how varying levels of weathering can be adjusted to personal preference.
