Vallejo Metallic Metal Beetle Green - Airbrush

Vallejo Metallic Metal Dusken Green – Airbrush Paint is a deep metallic green with a muted alloy shine, made for realistic scale finishes. It’s the kind of color you reach for when you want oxidized machinery, military hardware, or worn sci-fi plating that still reads as metal. The airbrush-ready acrylic sprays smooth right from the bottle, using ultra-fine pigment to keep rivets, panel lines, and surface texture crisp.

• Dark metallic green tone that looks like aged alloy or oxidized steel
• Airbrush-ready acrylic for smooth flow and easy control
• Ultra-fine metallic pigment for realistic sheen, not glittery
• Builds in thin coats without burying details
• Perfect base for patina, grime, streaking, and weathering

Suggested uses

• Gundam and mecha inner frames, vents, trims, and pistons
• WWII and modern armor fittings needing greened-metal character
• Aircraft cockpit parts, hydraulic lines, and metallic components
• Industrial terrain: pipes, panels, reactors, catwalks, wreckage
• Fantasy/sci-fi miniatures with ancient or arcane metal vibes

Tips

• Prime black or dark brown to deepen the alloy effect
• Spray several light coats for the smoothest metallic finish
• Edge-highlight with steel, silver, or gold for contrast
• Add patina using thin turquoise/green washes in recesses
• Seal if you’ll mask or handle heavily
