AK Weathering Pencil – Dark Aluminium (AK10039)
A cool, steel-like metallic tone for realistic worn metal and sharp edge highlights. The Dark Aluminium Weathering Pencil is a water-based, semi-grease paint pencil that lets you place metallic wear exactly where you want it—then soften, blend, or clean it up with water while you work.
 
What it does
Adds dark metallic shine for scratches, scuffs, and edge wear on armor plates and vehicles
Great for “bare metal” showing through paint chips and heavy-use areas
Creates controlled metallic streaks and small details around bolts, hinges, tools, and weapons
 
How to use
Draw directly on a matte surface for maximum control.
Blend with a slightly damp brush to soften lines and make wear look more natural.
Build up in layers—start subtle, then intensify only on the highest contact points.
 
Best for
Weapon edges, vehicle hatches, track guards, sci-fi armor, tools, engine parts, industrial terrain, mechanical joints.

ChalkyDot Tip
Use it like a “metallic drybrush in pencil form”: hit only the sharpest edges, then tap with a damp brush to break up the shine for a realistic, worn look.
