Vallejo Metallic Metal Sapphire Blue - Airbrush

Vallejo Metallic Metal Sapphire Blue – Airbrush Paint

A deep, jewel-toned metallic blue that gives scale models a polished alloy look with real depth. Think anodized panels, futuristic armor plating, heat-tinted metal, or high-contrast mechanical accents. The airbrush-ready acrylic sprays smoothly straight from the bottle, using ultra-fine metallic pigment to keep every rivet, panel line, and surface texture sharp and scale-accurate.

Key features

• Rich sapphire metallic blue for anodized or sci-fi alloy effects
• Airbrush-ready acrylic metallic for smooth flow and reliable coverage
• Ultra-fine pigment for realistic sheen without grainy sparkle
• Builds in thin coats, preserving small-scale detail
• Great base for shading, filters, chipping, and weathering

Suggested uses

• Gundam and mecha armor trims, frames, thrusters, and accent panels
• Aircraft panels, cockpit highlights, and metallic detail parts
• WWII/modern armor for stylized blue-metal contrast or markings
• Sci-fi and fantasy minis needing energy-metal or elite armor tones
• Dioramas and terrain: alien tech, control panels, machinery, relics

Tips

• Prime black for maximum depth or grey for a brighter blue pop
• Spray several light coats to build a smooth metallic finish
• Edge-highlight with silver or a lighter blue metallic for sharp contrast
• Add tonal shifts with thin blue/black inks in recesses
• Seal with clear varnish if you’ll mask or handle heavily
