Vallejo Metallic Metal Imperial Gold - Airbrush

Vallejo Metallic Metal Imperial Gold – Airbrush Paint is a bright, high-impact gold metallic that still looks realistic at scale. It’s cleaner and more polished than antique golds, making it ideal for standout trims, badges, and premium mechanical accents. The airbrush-ready acrylic sprays smoothly straight from the bottle, using ultra-fine metallic pigment to deliver a rich satin-metal sheen while keeping panel lines, rivets, and surface textures sharp.

Key features

• Bright true-gold metallic tone for polished alloy effects
• Airbrush-ready acrylic for smooth flow and consistent coverage
• Ultra-fine pigment for realistic metallic sheen, not grainy sparkle
• Strong coverage in thin coats without burying detail
• Takes washes, shading, and weathering beautifully

Suggested Uses

• Gundam and mecha trims, inner-frame accents, vents, and armor highlights
• WWII and modern armor emblems, fittings, shell casings, and detail parts
• Aircraft cockpit bezels, instrument surrounds, and brass-gold components
• Automotive models: badges, trim, engine accents, show-car highlights
• Dioramas and terrain: ornate relics, statues, treasure props, machinery

Tips

• Prime black or dark brown to deepen the gold and boost richness
• Spray several light passes for the smoothest metallic layer
• Edge-highlight with silver or a brighter gold mix for crisp pop
• Shade recesses with sepia/brown washes to bring out detail
• Seal with clear varnish if you plan heavy masking or handling
