GSI Creos Mr. Metallic Color GX

Premium Metallic Lacquer Paint System

The GSI Creos Mr. Metallic Color GX series represents a specialized metallic lacquer paint system engineered for maximum brilliance, exceptional color depth, and superior metallic particle suspension. Manufactured by Gunze Sangyo, these premium 18ml formulations deliver professional-grade metallic finishes that surpass conventional metallic paints in both visual impact and application characteristics. The GX designation signifies advanced pigment technology featuring ultra-fine metallic particles that create smooth, even finishes with outstanding reflective properties and dimensional depth ideal for custom automotive finishes, mecha model kits, fantasy miniatures, and any modeling application requiring brilliant metallic effects.

Comprehensive Color Spectrum

The collection encompasses 17 carefully formulated metallic colors spanning the complete spectrum from foundational metallics to exotic specialty finishes. Core colors include GX201 Metallic Black, GX202 Metallic Red, GX203 Metallic Yellow, GX204 Metallic Blue, GX205 Metallic Green, GX206 Metallic Purple, and GX207 Metallic Violet, providing essential metallic hues for diverse modeling applications. Specialty silver formulations include GX208 Metallic Rough Silver for weathered metal effects, GX213 Metallic White Silver for bright chrome-like finishes, and GX214 Metallic Ice Silver for cool-toned metallic surfaces. Premium gold variations feature GX209 Metallic Red Gold for warm brass tones and GX217 Metallic Rough Gold for aged gold effects.

Advanced Metallic Formulations

The Metallic Color GX series incorporates proprietary pigment technology that maintains metallic particle suspension throughout the paint's shelf life, eliminating the settling issues common in conventional metallic paints. The lacquer-based carrier system ensures rapid drying, excellent adhesion to plastic and metal substrates, and compatibility with subsequent clear coat applications. Each formulation features optimized metallic particle size distribution that produces smooth, even finishes without graininess or texture irregularities. The paints deliver consistent metallic density from first coat to final application, enabling predictable results across multi-stage finishing processes.

Specialty Effect Colors

Beyond standard metallic hues, the collection includes sophisticated specialty colors engineered for specific visual effects. GX210 Metallic Blue Gold creates unique color-shifting effects ideal for fantasy armor and sci-fi applications. GX211 Metallic Yellow Green delivers vibrant lime-metallic finishes perfect for custom car projects and racing liveries. GX212 Metallic Peach provides subtle warm metallic tones for figure painting and feminine mecha designs. GX215 Metallic Bloody Red produces deep, rich red-metallic effects ideal for custom motorcycles and aggressive mecha schemes. GX216 Metallic Dark Blue offers deep navy-metallic finishes perfect for naval subjects and midnight blue automotive finishes.

Professional Application Characteristics

Mr. Metallic Color GX paints are optimized for airbrush application, delivering excellent atomization characteristics and smooth flow at standard thinning ratios. The lacquer base ensures rapid drying between coats, enabling efficient multi-layer application without extended cure times. The paints exhibit superior self-leveling properties that minimize brush marks and spray texture, producing glass-smooth metallic surfaces. The formulations are compatible with GSI Creos Mr. Color Paints thinners and additives, allowing precise viscosity control and retarder integration for extended working time in humid conditions.

Custom Automotive and Mecha Applications

The Metallic Color GX series excels in custom automotive modeling where brilliant metallic finishes are essential for replicating show car paint schemes, racing liveries, and custom motorcycle finishes. The paints deliver the color depth and metallic brilliance necessary for 1/24 and 1/12 scale automotive subjects. For mecha and robot kits, the metallic formulations provide authentic mechanical finishes for armor plating, weapons systems, and structural components. The colors work exceptionally well for Gundam, Macross, and other Japanese mecha subjects where metallic finishes are signature design elements.

Integration with GSI Creos Systems

Mr. Metallic Color GX paints integrate seamlessly with the complete GSI Creos finishing system. The metallic base coats accept GSI Creos Mr. Clear Color GX transparent overlays for candy finishes and color-shifting effects. The paints layer effectively with GSI Creos Mr. Color Super Metallic for enhanced metallic depth and dimensional effects. For alternative metallic approaches, GSI Creos Mr. Metal Color provides buffable metallic finishes, while GSI Creos Mr. Color GX offers complementary non-metallic colors for complete finishing workflows.

Technical Specifications and Resources

Each 18ml bottle contains sufficient paint for multiple model projects, with coverage rates optimized for airbrush application at recommended thinning ratios. The lacquer formulation requires appropriate ventilation and respiratory protection during application. The paints cure to a durable, solvent-resistant finish suitable for handling and display. Manufactured by Gunze Sangyo under rigorous quality control protocols, each batch undergoes testing to ensure consistent color matching, metallic particle distribution, and application characteristics.
