Description
Give your aircraft a high-end, industrial aesthetic with Oracover Brushed Aluminium (2m x 60cm). Part of the specialized "Special Effect" series, this premium polyester covering film perfectly replicates the look of mechanically brushed metal, making it the ideal choice for scale warbirds, vintage racers, and modern sport planes. While it delivers a heavy-duty metallic appearance, it retains the famed Oracover flexibility and high-performance shrinking characteristics, allowing it to conform effortlessly to compound curves and wingtips.
Key Features:
- Authentic Metallic Texture: Features a realistic "brushed" grain that catches light like real aluminum, adding immediate scale realism to cowlings and fuselages.
- Multi-Layer Polyester Construction: Highly durable and puncture-resistant, providing structural reinforcement to open-frame and sheeted surfaces.
- Superior Shrinkage Power: Engineered with multi-directional heat-shrink technology to ensure a drum-tight, sag-free finish that remains stable through seasonal temperature changes.
- Fuel & Oil Proof: Completely resistant to glow fuel, petrol (gas), and smoke oil; the metallic finish will not dull or peel when exposed to flight residues.
- Easy Repositioning: The proprietary heat-activated adhesive allows you to lift and reposition the film during application without leaving unsightly residue behind.
Application Temperature Guide:
| Phase | Temperature Range | Visual Result |
|---|---|---|
| Tacking | 100°C – 120°C | The film bonds to the surface; ideal for edges and corners. |
| Shrinking | 140°C – 160°C | Film tightens significantly; removes wrinkles from open bays. |
| Maximum Heat | Up to 180°C | Used for stretching the metallic grain around extreme 3D curves. |
Scale Modeler's Tip:
To maintain the "brushed" effect, pay close attention to the direction of the grain during installation. For a realistic look, ensure the grain runs parallel to the airflow on the fuselage and wings. If you need to paint matching cowls or plastic parts, use ORACOLOR Brushed Aluminium for a perfect 100% color and texture match.
