Silver & Steel
Cool, bright metallics in the metallic acrylic paint set for sci-fi, historical, and futuristic models. Silver is bright and reflective. Steel is slightly duller, mimicking worn or weathered metal surfaces. Together, they create realistic armor progression from polished to battle-worn.
Copper
Warm reddish-brown metallic from the metallic acrylic paint set for exotic metallic effects, steampunk aesthetics, and weathering work. Copper oxidizes beautifully when layered with green or blue washes for verdigris effects.

Why Metallic Paint Is Different From Regular Paint
Metallic pigments are fundamentally different from standard colored pigments. The metallic acrylic paint set Egypt uses true metal flakes (aluminum, copper, mica) suspended in acrylic binder. This creates optical reflection that mimics real metal surfaces. Understanding this difference explains why:
- Metallics Separate: Metal particles are heavier than pigment particles and settle faster. Regular stirring is necessary.
- Metallics Flow Differently: Metal flakes require special formulation to flow smoothly. Improper metallics gunk up airbrushes.
- Metallics Require Proper Base: Metallic paint looks best over dark base coats. Light bases make metallics appear dull.
- Metallics Need Specific Technique: Layering metallics creates optical depth impossible with regular paints.
The metallic acrylic paint set Egypt solves all these challenges through specialized formulation.

How to Use Metallic Acrylic Paint Set Egypt
Metallic Base Coat Technique
- Prime Dark: Prime model with black, dark grey, or dark brown primer. Metallic paint appears dull over light bases.
- Shake Thoroughly: Metal flakes settle quickly. Shake the bottle for 60+ seconds. Stir gently to avoid introducing air bubbles.
- Thin Properly: Use a 1:1 ratio of paint to thinner from our acrylic thinning medium.
- Apply Thin Coats: Two thin coats are better than one thick coat. Metallic paint builds reflectivity with layers.
- Allow Drying: Wait 30 minutes between coats for full cure.
Metallic Layering (Professional Technique)
- Base Metallic: Apply the darker metallic (gunmetal, steel) as base coat.
- Highlight Metallic: Use a lighter metallic (silver, titanium) dry brushed or layered on raised surfaces.
- Wash Enhancement: Apply dark wash (black or brown) into recesses to add shadow depth.
- Bright Accent: Optional: ultra-bright metallic (titanium) on highest edges for maximum shine.
- Result: Realistic metal progression from shadow to shine, appearing three-dimensional and authentic.
Airbrush Application
- Shake Canister: Shake the metallic acrylic paint set Egypt bottle for 90 seconds (longer than regular paint due to metal particle weight).
- Thin Aggressively: Mix 1 part metallic paint + 2 parts thinner (thinner than brush application).
- Strain Carefully: Pass through a fine mesh filter twice. Metal flakes can clog airbrush nozzles if not filtered properly.
- Spray at 20-25 PSI: Lower pressure than normal to prevent metal flake segregation.
- Add Flow Improver: Include 5-6 drops of our airbrush flow improver per 15ml mixture for smooth spray.
Common Metallic Paint Mistakes to Avoid
- Inadequate Shaking: Metal flakes settle heavily. Insufficient shaking results in dull, particle-poor finish.
- Light Base Coats: Metallic paint over light primer appears dull and muddy. Always prime dark.
- Over-Thinning: Excessive thinning reduces metallic concentration. Thin enough to flow, not so much that shimmer disappears.
- Single Thick Coat: One thick coat appears plasticky. Multiple thin coats build realistic reflectivity.
- Mixing With Regular Paint: Adding regular paint to metallic dilutes the metal flake concentration. Mix metallic-to-metallic only.
- Skipping Filtration (Airbrush): Metal particles clog nozzles. Always strain airbrush metallics before spraying.
Metallic Paint Layering for Realistic Effects
| Effect | Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Worn Metal | Gunmetal base | Dark wash in recesses | Light dry brush edges | Realistic battle wear |
| Polished Armor | Silver base | Thin gloss varnish | Titanium highlights | Pristine military sheen |
| Ancient Gold | Gold base | Brown wash (patina) | Gold dry brush edge | Historic aged appearance |
| Weathered Steel | Steel base | Rust wash (red-brown) | Copper drybrush (oxidation) | Realistic corrosion |

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Why does metallic paint look dull compared to the bottle?
- A: Three common reasons: (1) Light primer—always prime dark. (2) Insufficient paint layers—metallics require 2+ coats. (3) Dirty or separated paint—shake for 90+ seconds before use.
- Q: Can I mix the metallic acrylic paint set Egypt colors with each other?
- A: Yes. Mixing gold + copper creates custom warm metallics. Mixing silver + steel creates custom cool metallics. Experimentation is encouraged.
- Q: Will metallic paint clog my airbrush?
- A: Not if you strain it properly and thin appropriately. Metal flakes are heavier than pigment, so filtration is critical. Use our airbrush flow improver to help.
- Q: Which size metallic acrylic paint set Egypt should I start with?
- A: Start with 30ml if testing metallics for the first time. If you paint armies or regularly use metallics, upgrade to 60ml or 125ml for better value.
- Q: Can I use metallic paint with a wet palette?
- A: Yes, but metal particles settle quickly on wet palettes. Keep paint on the palette for shorter periods and stir frequently.
- Q: Do metallics need special varnish?
- A: No. Our regular matte and gloss varnishes work perfectly. Gloss varnish enhances metallic shine. Matte varnish dulls metallics intentionally for weathered effects.
- Q: How long does one bottle of metallic acrylic paint set Egypt last?
- A: Depends on application method. Brush use: 50-100+ miniatures per color. Airbrush use: 100-200+ miniatures per color due to efficient atomization. The 125ml size lasts studios 6-12 months.
Storage & Shelf Life
Store the metallic acrylic paint set Egypt upright in a cool, dry place with lids tightly sealed. Metal particles are heavier than regular pigments and settle more quickly, so even sealed bottles should be shaken monthly to prevent permanent settling. The product remains usable for 24 months from manufacture. If paint thickens, add 1-2 drops of water and stir—do not thin excessively.
