Soot, exhaust staining and burnt-out scorch marks need a proper deep black, and Carbon Smoke is exactly that. This ultra-fine Vallejo pigment brushes on dry to build up sooty residue around exhausts, gun muzzles, engine decks and fire damage. It’s brilliant for the darkest grime on vehicles and machinery, and for knocking metallics down into a used, carbon-stained look.
