Vallejo Metal Color – Advanced Metallic Acrylic Paints for Airbrushing

Vallejo Metal Color is a cutting-edge range of water-based metallic acrylic paints specially formulated for airbrush application. Using the latest generation of aluminum pigments, Metal Color delivers exceptionally smooth, realistic metallic finishes with unmatched adhesion and durability—ideal for scale models, aircraft fuselages, and sci-fi builds.

Metal Color can be applied directly onto plastic or metal surfaces without a primer, thanks to its superior formulation. However, for maximum brilliance—especially on airplane fuselages and high-polish finishes—a gloss black primer is recommended to fully enhance the depth and reflective qualities of the metallic layer.

Perfect for creating aluminum, steel, titanium, and other metal effects, these colors spray effortlessly, dry quickly, and are non-toxic, making them a must-have for both professional and hobbyist airbrush users.
