Description
Radar Absorbing Dark Gray is a flat, deep gray formulated to replicate the dark paneling and radar-absorbent sections of stealth aircraft. Used in modern camouflage schemes, this color simulates the dull, non-reflective finish seen on operational aircraft equipped with RAM coatings. It is perfect for adding visual contrast between stealth surface panels and maintaining authenticity on 5th-generation jet models.

Color Description
This dark gray falls between FS 36118 and modern classified RAM finishes. RAM coatings (Radar-Absorbent Material coatings) are specialized paints or surface treatments designed to reduce an object’s radar signature—meaning they help aircraft, ships, or vehicles "absorb" radar waves rather than reflect them, which makes them harder to detect on radar. It provides rich, shadowed depth when used in panel lines, internal bays, and faceted edges of stealth aircraft. In modeling, it can be used to create realistic tonal differences across fuselage segments and to simulate the thermal and radar control measures embedded into aircraft skin materials.

This color is widely used in modern military aviation:
• Found on aircraft like the F-35 Lightning II, F-22 Raptor, and B-2 Spirit
• Used in panel outlines, RAM edging, and sensor shrouds
• Enhances the stealth profile and reduces specular reflection under combat lighting

Modeling Uses
• Paint recessed RAM panels and radar-reducing edges with stealth realism
• Combine with Radar Absorbing Light Gray for authentic tonal contrast
• Ideal for weathering stealth aircraft using drybrushing or airbrush shading
• Use in sci-fi or near-future vehicles to simulate futuristic stealth coatings

Violet J. ★★★★★

Brushed this over the panel lines on my B-2 and the dark gray settles into a proper low-observable tone, not that flat charcoal most acrylics give you. Twenty ml went further than I expected on a 1/72 build, though I did thin it a touch.

Madison ★★★★★

I was surprised how well the matte finish mimics the actual RAM coating on the B-2—spreads evenly and dries to that exact flat look.

Isabella ★★★★☆

The dark gray goes on matte and covers well over the gray plastic on my F-35 kit, no thinning needed. Only gripe is 20ml disappears fast if you're coating a full airframe, so I reordered two more.
