Looks great on a silver background. Used with Oil Brown to weather a German silver Aral tanker, see this model being weathered here. We also use this when weathering aircraft, especially jets. Great for spraying over other colours to create different shades. Also below is an example of Slate Grey used on the body of a wargames model. See more here.
Not very concentrated. Medium translucency. Easy to see through to surface underneath. Not very dark.
Medium to good solubility in water. Easier to wipe and smudge.
Colour: Blue/black slate colour.

How to use
Ensure there is good ventilation.
Wear a face mask when spraying and gloves when smudging.
Ensure all surfaces to be sprayed are clean, dry and free from grease.
Apply a coat of matt varnish before starting to protect from possible damage.
Mask areas of the model that are not to be sprayed.
Spray over suitable protective sheets.
Shake the can for at least 5 seconds before use and often while spraying.
Spray to one side first to clear the nozzle.
Hold the can in an upright position 300mm from a surface.
Spray evenly moving the can from side to side.
Keep button fully depressed while spraying. Spots of concentrated dye may appear if the button is only partially depressed.
Use sparingly. Apply several light coats rather than one heavy coat.
The colour will vary depending on the number and thickness of coats applied.
Heavy spraying may result in the dye dripping or puddling.
Modelmates may not adhere to some very highly polished surfaces.
Drying time is usually less than a minute for a light coat.
Caution – solvent can damage some surfaces.
