SnJ Spray Metal Paints
“SnJ Spray Metal paint and polishing powder produces a realistic metal look when airbrushed on plastic with the least amount of preparatory work. I can use any of the standard masking materials on it without a sealer. The best feature of SnJ is that it is so simple to use; and, it is fast.” Al Jones – Milwaukee, WI
SnJ is Enamel Based - Not Lacquer
SnJ Spray Metal paint is enamel based, meaning that it will never attack your plastic. That can't be said for laquer paints, which generally require a protective primer coat before use. Just look how easy it is to apply:

SnJ Frequently Asked Questions
SnJ Manufactured by Hawkeye's Hobbies
SnJ Model Products was acquired by Hawkeye’s Hobbies in July of 2006. The line of SnJ Spray Metals and Polishing Powders are now produced exclusively by Hawkeye’s Hobbies LLC in Neenah, Wisconsin, USA.
SnJ Spray Metal Colors
Since the acquisition, the four basic natural metal finish (NMF) colors have been expanded to twelve. Those being: Aluminum, Bronze, Copper, Gold, Pewter, Platinum, Steel, Dark Aluminum, Dark Platinum, Bronzed Aluminum, Silver and Red Anodized Aluminum. We’ve also introduced our first non-NMF color Fluorescent Red-Orange. This color was a natural choice since many of the early NMF scheme aircraft included high visibility markings. Each bottle contains approximately 1 ounce/30 ml.

Shipping SnJ Spray Metals
Due to the FLAMMABLE nature of SnJ Spray Metals they can not be mailed via the Post Office. They must ship via surface or air carrier such as UPS or FEDEX. Our primary courier is UPS. Shipping via this mode can become cost prohibitive outside of the United States. Please contact us via email for a shipping price quote before ordering SnJ Spray Metals. Customers are solely responsible for any and all VAT or Duties associated with the importing of our products.
SnJ Spray Metals are easy to apply, nearly fool proof. Buffing the finish with Hawkeye's Polishing Powders is not required to achieve a realistic natural metal finish, but buffing will increase your options for sheen and tone.
