Perfect for Bandai Gundam High Grade kits and Tamiya Lacquer Paint enthusiasts.
The GSI Creos Mr. Crystal series represents the pinnacle of metallic lacquer paint technology, offering modelers and custom painters eight stunning gemstone-inspired colors that deliver unparalleled sparkle and depth. Each 18ml bottle contains advanced metallic pigments suspended in high-quality lacquer base, engineered to create brilliant, multi-dimensional finishes that capture and reflect light like genuine precious stones. The collection includes Diamond Silver (XC01) for chrome-like brilliance, Topaz Gold (XC02) for warm luxury accents, Ruby Red (XC03) for deep crimson sparkle, Amethyst Purple (XC04) for regal violet shimmer, Sapphire Blue (XC05) for rich azure depth, Tourmaline Green (XC06) for emerald-like radiance, Turquoise Green (XC07) for aquatic brilliance, and Moonstone Pearl (XC08) for iridescent elegance.
Mr. Crystal paints are formulated as true lacquers, requiring proper thinning with GSI Creos Airbrush Accessories and lacquer thinners for optimal airbrush application. These paints work exceptionally well over gloss black or dark base coats, which enhance their metallic depth and gemstone-like qualities. For best results, apply thin, even coats and allow proper flash time between layers. The lacquer formulation ensures rapid drying, excellent adhesion, and superior durability when properly cured. Protect finished work with GSI Creos Mr. Topcoat clear coats to preserve the brilliant metallic finish and add additional protection against handling and environmental factors.
The Mr. Crystal series excels in applications requiring eye-catching metallic finishes with exceptional visual impact. Automotive modelers use these paints for custom candy finishes, luxury vehicle accents, and show-car details on scale models. Bandai Gundam High Grade and Bandai Gundam Master Grade builders achieve stunning mecha finishes, particularly for beam sabers, energy effects, and special edition color schemes. The paints also complement Tamiya Lacquer Paint systems and integrate seamlessly with other GSI Creos Paint Sets for comprehensive finishing solutions. Aviation modelers use Mr. Crystal colors for special liveries and commemorative schemes, while armor enthusiasts apply them for ceremonial vehicles and display pieces.
Each Mr. Crystal paint bottle contains 18ml of ready-to-thin lacquer formulation with high metallic pigment concentration. As solvent-based lacquers, these paints require adequate ventilation during application and proper respiratory protection when airbrushing. Store bottles upright in cool, dry conditions away from heat sources and open flames. Shake bottles thoroughly before use to ensure even pigment distribution. Clean airbrushes and tools immediately after use with lacquer thinner to prevent paint buildup. When combined with proper surface preparation using GSI Creos Primers and GSI Creos Surfacer products, Mr. Crystal paints deliver professional-grade results that rival factory finishes.
