## Overview

Vallejo Gunmetal Grey Metal Color is a 32ml water-based acrylic paint featuring advanced aluminum pigments for ultra-realistic metallic finishes. Designed for airbrush and brush application on plastic and metal, it dries quickly to a durable, reflective surface without requiring enamels or lacquers. Ideal for professional modelers seeking authentic aircraft finishes from WWI to modern jets, it offers excellent adhesion, mixability, and waterproof resilience.

## Description

Metal color is a new range of water-based metallic colors, especially designed for airbrushing. In the development of these new and innovative metallic colors, the latest generation of aluminum pigments has been used in a specifically designed formula which results in a series of colors of exceptional resistance and adherence to plastics and metal. Metal color can be applied directly on models without the need for the use of a Primer, although in the case of fuselages and components for airplane models it is recommended to first apply a glossy black Primer to bring forth the unique and special quality of the aluminum finish.

Review: Great paint to dry brush necrons or iron warriors. Creates a great base shadow layer. Goes on super smooth with minimal thinning. Runs perfectly through air bottle.
Review: Finding good quality metallics in acrylics for miniature and model painting is no easy task. There are a fair few out there that claim to be metallic, but they're not quite right. I mean, to be fair, they all have a carrier medium, some thin pigment colour and very fine alloy dust or similar. The trick here is getting all of it in a good mix. I have tried a variety of different paints and none of them are satisfactory. Gunmetal, steel, iron etc all pretty much look the same and one is left trying to fix that by mixing in other pigment to bring it down to the colour you want. I have (I think) all of the Vallejo metallics now, and they are the first paint I reach for when I want to paint metal surfaces. The primer colour used also affects how the metallic looks in the end, and these in particular rely heavily on good basing colours. You can easily achieve a variety of effects with these paints just by varying the primer colour, and dry brushing areas in a lighter or contrasting colour. The other thing with these paints, the d it applies to all of the Vallejo metal colours, is the need for patience. Mixing these is an exercise in frustration. While the bottles come with bearings inside to facilitate mixing, they will require a great deal of shaking to mix thoroughly. I can't shake these myself, as my hands don't work well enough to hold the bottle and it will launch on a random trajectory across the room. My answer to that is to use a medical agitator to mix these. The advantage is that I don't have to shake the bottle for 20 minutes plus, and I don't have to worry about it becoming ballistic. Even so, it can still take several minutes to mix this thoroughly. This also cannot be decanted into a dish or paint tray as the paint separates very quickly and requires regular shaking to keep it mixed. In fact, if you do decant a small amount, you can watch it separate, it's that quick The lid has a small cap that fits over the nozzle, and after mixing the paint, there is always a small amount in this cap. I find it less wasteful to use the paint caught in the lid rather than dripping even small amounts onto a palette. It also means I don't waste as much paint. Once you get past the onerous task of mixing this paint, and regularly mixing during use., the application is quite simple. I most cases (except chrome) I have found that the paint is quite thin, so requires several coats to build up a good cover. This is not so bad as it sounds, as you can paint thin layers over the parts you want to be metal, and gradually build up the effect and the colour. This is where careful preparation really comes in. Painting layers over the surfaces you want, and having them carefully prepared, will result in a beautiful and surprisingly realistic surface. I highly recommend this and the other metallic colour paints in the range, you will not regret having them. But, patience, thorough mixing and preparation are essential to a good finish. Once done, I suggest you also purchase the metallic varnish that Vallejo produce. It complements these colours perfectly and protects them from wearing off and spoiling the effect you have worked so hard to achieve. The varnish also adds that little bit of shine that metals have and makes them stand out from ordinary colours. Hard work to use, but well worth it for the end result.

## Features

- The Metal Color sets contain a selection of water based metallic colours developed to faithfully reproduce different metallic finishes such as radial or linear engines, nozzles or paneling found on most aircraft of all types and periods from WWI aircraft that combine wood, metal and textile coatings to modern fighter jets
- Metal Color is the innovative range of metallic colors, which uses aluminium pigments in its production. The Metal Color range offers a wide range of shades in order to imitate the metallic finish of aircraft of all types and eras. Of exceptional brightness and extraordinary power of reflection, it allows the modeler to carry out the full range of painting techniques without the need to resort to enamels and lacquers
- Metal Color dries very quickly, but it is advisable to wait 12 hours after application before applying any paint masks, as it respects the smallest details present on the model and forming a homogeneous and self-leveling layer of extraordinary resistance a few hours after application. Metal Color can be tinted directly in the airbrush cup using colors from the Model Air or Game Air ranges. It can also be applied with a brush
- Metal colors can be mixed with each other, use directly with an airbrush, or diluted with or diluted with Airbrush Thinner (B002X6DTHK) or Flow Improver (B00QD780G0). Compressor adjustment for these colors is recommended at 15 – 20 PSI or 0.5 a 1 kg. For best airbrush maintenance we recommend using our Airbrush Cleaner (B002X6BNYQ)
- Note: The brand Vallejo is currently in the process of rebranding, therefore, for a period of time, it is possible that you may receive the product with either the new packaging or the old packaging
