Vallejo Liquid Metal

Vallejo Liquid Metal Acrylic Paints

Vallejo Liquid Metal paints deliver authentic metallic finishes for scale modeling, miniatures, and dioramas with exceptional coverage and durability. This premium acrylic paint range features finely ground metallic pigments suspended in a water-based formula that creates realistic gold, silver, copper, and specialty metal effects without the toxicity of solvent-based alternatives. Each 35ml bottle provides smooth application by brush or airbrush with minimal surface preparation required.

The Liquid Metal collection includes Vallejo 35ml Gold, Vallejo 35ml Silver, Vallejo 35ml Copper, and specialty tones like Old Gold, Rich Gold, Red Gold, Green Gold, and White Gold. These formulations excel at replicating brass fittings, steel armor plating, bronze statuary, and precious metal details across naval, aviation, armor, and figure modeling subjects.

Modelers appreciate the self-leveling properties that minimize brush strokes while maintaining opacity over dark primer or base coats. The water-based chemistry allows easy cleanup and thinning for airbrush applications without compromising the metallic sheen. Liquid Metal paints integrate seamlessly with other Vallejo Weathering FX products and Vallejo Pigment FX for advanced finishing techniques.

Why Choose Vallejo Liquid Metal Paints

Vallejo Liquid Metal paints represent decades of Spanish manufacturing expertise in water-based acrylic formulations specifically engineered for scale modeling applications. The metallic pigment density exceeds standard hobby paints while maintaining flow characteristics suitable for detail work on 1/700 naval vessels, 1/48 aircraft cockpits, 1/35 armor accessories, and 28mm gaming miniatures. Unlike enamel-based metallics that require ventilation and extended drying times, Liquid Metal paints cure rapidly and accept subsequent weathering layers within hours of application.

The eight-color range addresses the full spectrum of metallic modeling requirements from bright Silver for polished aluminum and chrome effects to warm Copper tones for piping and electrical components. Gold variations including Old Gold and White Gold enable accurate representation of different alloy compositions and patina stages. Advanced modelers layer multiple Liquid Metal shades to simulate wear patterns, heat discoloration, and environmental exposure on military vehicles and aircraft.

Integration with complementary Vallejo product lines enhances finishing possibilities. Apply Vallejo Weathering FX washes over cured Liquid Metal to accentuate panel lines and recesses, or use Vallejo Pigment FX dry pigments to create realistic dust accumulation and oxidation effects. The paints accept masking tape without lifting and respond well to buffing techniques for high-gloss finishes on automotive and aviation subjects. Pair with Vallejo Primers for optimal adhesion and coverage, or explore Vallejo Paint Sets for coordinated color schemes. Additional painting supplies are available through Paint Accessories.
