The Gaahleri Almond Green: classic solid colour with impeccable Gloss finish

Within Gaahleri's Auto Colors series, the K309 Almond Green holds a unique position.

It is the quintessential colour for classic English cars, vintage restorations, and scale models seeking a refined and collectible finish.

Technical Features

• Gloss "Porcelain" Finish: the formula self-levels to create a shiny, smooth, and homogeneous surface that evokes freshly manufactured car bodies.
• RapidAir™ Technology: ensures uniform application, with no build-up on edges or details. The quick drying minimises dust deposits on the fresh paint.
• High Opacity: despite being a light tone, the high-density pigmentation offers excellent coverage from the first coat, maintaining the purity of the colour.
• Durability Once Cured: withstands washes and ageing effects without degrading the original shine.
• Format: 20 ml bottle.

Applications

• Static models of classic cars and period vehicles.

Application Tips

To achieve the best result with the Almond Green K309:

• Apply over a white or very light grey primer to preserve the luminosity of the tone and prevent the substrate from darkening the colour.

• Apply in thin, even layers, allowing to dry between each one, utilising RapidAir™ technology for a clean finish.
• Can be combined with compatible varnishes to enhance final protection if working with subsequent ageing effects is desired.
