Vallejo - Metal Color | Gunmetal Grey 32 ml (1.08 fl.oz.) | Faithfully Reproduce Different Metallic Finishes

Amazing paint for painting Warhammer minis. Lays perfect in one coat. Night and day difference vs GW or others I've tried.

Vallejo Metal Colors are hands down the best metallic paints in my opinion. They go on super smooth, and have a great metallic sheen. A great selection of tones as well.

Plain and simple, looking for a good metallic paint for a bargain price to volume ratio? Can’t go wrong with Vallejo’s model metallic paints. The color is “copper” and it has great coverage. Always remember to going with thin layers, it’s easier to build up rather than build down from a thick layer of metallic paint. Also if you’re rinsing off metallic paints, make sure you empty your rinse cup to avoid metal flakes mixing with your non-metallic paints.

I love the coverage and finish of the vallejo metal air paints. The only one I don't like is gold, which is too pale yellow for my taste. This is a nice dark metal color.

It's a bit runny but I was able to weather my chainsword well enough.

Best water clean up metallic paint that I've used. Flows fast, so if you're brushing it on, be sure to wick off the excess before you apply.

Due to the lockdown, metallic paints have been very hard to find. I gave up trying to get K Colors and MRP and, after much soul-searching, finally decided to try a bottle of Vallejo metallic to see how it does. It should have been an easier decision, but I've had terrible experiences with Vallejo Model Air acrylics, especially over my standard Tamiya flat acrylics. Vallejo makes an amazing variety of colors, but... They dry like a sheet of shrink-wrapped plastic and have marginal grip on the plastic. Don't even think about masking and expecting to pull the tape off without taking a chunk of paint. Anyways, I rolled the dice and bought a bottle of this stuff, laid it down on a paint mule primed in some Tamiya flat, and did some stress testing. After 10 minutes it was still a bit soft to the fingernail test but was easily handleable. After 2 hours of drying I applied some de-tacked Tamiya tape, rubbed it down as I normally would, held my breath, and removed it in the standard fashion. I must say I was impressed! The Vallejo metallic stayed firmly on the mule and only the barest of shimmer adhered to the tape. Tamiya metallic would fare no better than that. The Vallejo surface was unblemished, hard to the fingernail, and burnished fairly well with a soft cotton cloth. It did wear through slightly on the edges of the piece, but that may be due to my heavy hands and lack of care. Or maybe it was joy that I found a Vallejo paint that I can use over other acrylics. I'm feeling brave and will be buying a few more Vallejo metallics. Ok, maybe more than a few. Don't tell my wife.

Most "metallic" model paints, look like "metallic" model paints. Typically some greyish pigment, full of glitter. And when you use it on a model, it looks like you painted your model with some greyish paint, and then shot it with a glitter cannon. It's obvious, and it usually doesn't look great. The Vallejo Metal Color line of paints does not look like grey glitter soup on your model. These paints look like you have a metal model. If you have avoided these because you don't like the look of metallic paints, I'm here to tell you, this paint line is your salvation. Your brain will not be able to fully grasp the fact that the plastic or resin model you are working with, is not actually made out of metal. If you've avoided this paint line because you do not have an airbrush, it's ok, you can put this paint on with a brush, no problem. It's a little thin, so don't go crazy, but it goes on smooth and looks exactly the same with a brush.
