Vallejo Metallic Metal Arcane Gold - Airbrush

Vallejo Metallic Metal Arcane Gold – Airbrush Paint is a rich, warm gold metallic designed for scale modellers who want a smooth, realistic “true metal” finish without gritty sparkle. It sprays beautifully straight from the bottle, laying down an even coat that looks like polished brass-gold in miniature. Use it for sci-fi armor trims, aircraft details, vintage car accents, fantasy miniatures, or anywhere you want a luxe metallic pop that still feels scale-accurate.

Why scale modellers love Arcane Gold

• Deep, warm gold tone that reads like real metal at scale
• Airbrush-ready acrylic metallic for smooth, clog-free spraying
• Ultra-fine pigment for a satin-metal sheen (no glittery grain)
• Excellent coverage in light coats; ideal for subtle buildup
• Handles washes, shading, and weathering without dulling out fast

Suggested uses

• WWII and modern armor details: emblems, shell casings, fittings
• Gundam / mecha trims, vents, pistons, and accent panels
• Aircraft cockpit highlights, instrument bezels, brass parts
• Automotive models: badges, trim, engine bay details
• Dioramas & terrain: ornate relics, pipes, machinery, treasure props

Tips

• Prime black or dark brown for the richest gold depth
• Spray several thin passes instead of one heavy coat
• Highlight with a brighter gold or silver mix for sharp edge sparkle
• Shade with sepia/brown washes to bring out panel lines and texture
• Seal with clear varnish if you plan to mask heavily

Finish

Arcane Gold is a water-based acrylic metallic that plays nicely with primers and other acrylic paint systems. It’s ideal for plastic, resin, and metal kits, and cleans up easily airbrush cleaner.
