Polished Aluminium is the show-stopper of the range — the brightest, most reflective aluminium tone, the one you use where a panel should genuinely gleam. Airbrushed on it lays down a fine, mirror-like metal that reads as freshly buffed alloy, and it makes the ideal bright base to glaze the coloured tints over. If you want that chrome-adjacent flash on a natural-metal build, this is the bottle.
