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.


Shake well before using. Pour the paint directly into the cup of the airbrush, either undiluted or previously diluted with Thinner 71.261. Colors can be mixed in the cup of the airbrush. Metal Color dries almost instantly on the model and permits immediate application of aging processes such as the use of washes, pigments, and dry-brush techniques. It is however recommended to wait an hour or so of curing time before manipulating the fresh layer of paint.

Vallejo Metal Colors

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

I love the Vallejo metal color line. They are airbrush ready and nice & thin. The sheen is wonderful, among my favorites of the metallics out there. Sometimes I use game or model color metallics but they can be kind of gummy and don't always thin out so well.

Vallejo Metal Colors - Amazing and ready to go.

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

The new line of Vallejo Metal Colors are really easy to use and will make any modelling project stand out with professional results. This latest line by Vallejo is acrylic; meaning, there's no foul smell, and clean-up is easy to do with water. If you have used an airbrush and had to thin down your paints so it could spray properly, you wont need to with these. Now, all you need to do is choose your color, (or make your own blend) and pour it straight from the bottle into your resevoir. Vallejo states that they have "designed a formula which results in a series of colors of exceptional resistance and adherence to plastics and metal". That is to say that they have greater ease of use and better results than most products up until now.
