IMPORTANT NOTE: Admiralty Paints Copper paint is made using actual copper flakes, it will therefore naturally 'tarnish' over time, ideal for authentic copper plating etc.
If you prefer, tarnishing can easily be prevented by sealing the copper with a matt varnish. We recommend that you test any varnish for reactions with the copper prior to applcation on your model.
