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.

Each technique is presented with precision, showing how varying levels of weathering can be adjusted to personal preference.
