GSI Creos Mr. Hobby Model Paints and Finishes
GSI Creos Mr. Hobby is Japan's leading manufacturer of precision model paints, primers, and finishing products trusted by scale modelers worldwide. The complete lineup spans lacquers, acrylics, metallics, specialty finishes, and surface preparation products for every modeling discipline — from military armor and aircraft to Gunpla and anime figures.
Lacquer Paints for Scale Modeling
Lacquer-based model paints are prized for their fast drying time, durability, and smooth finish when airbrushed. The Mr. Color lacquer range covers an extensive palette of gloss, flat, semi-gloss, metallic, and historically accurate military colors suited to armor, aircraft, ships, and automotive subjects. For larger surface coverage, Mr. Color Spray Paints deliver the same premium lacquer formula in aerosol form for fast, even application.
Metallic and Specialty Finishes
Achieving realistic bare-metal, chrome, and candy effects requires specialty formulations designed for that purpose. Mr. Color Super Metallic paints produce mirror-like chrome and authentic metallic surfaces, while Mr. Metallic Color GX offers brilliant metallic lacquers ideal for custom car finishes and mecha kits. Mr. Crystal provides gemstone-inspired metallic effects, and Mr. Clear Color GX delivers translucent lacquers for candy finishes and tinted clear coat effects over metallic bases.
Acrylic Paints
Aqueous Hobby Color is a professional water-based acrylic line spanning a wide range of colors including primaries, metallics, and historically accurate military shades. Low odor and easy water cleanup make it well-suited for brush and airbrush application in home or studio environments.
Figure, Character, and Gunpla Paints
Mr. Color Lascivus is a specialized lacquer series formulated for anime figures and garage kits, featuring realistic flesh tones, translucent layering colors, and glossy hair finishes. Aqueous Gundam Color paints deliver screen-accurate colors for iconic Mobile Suit subjects in both bottle and spray can formats. Gundam Markers are precision detailing tools for Gunpla panel lining, color accents, metallic highlights, and Real Touch weathering effects.
Weathering Products
Mr. Weathering Color offers a range of specialized weathering products — including colors, pastes, liners, and pastels — for creating authentic rust, mud, grime, and environmental effects on armor, aircraft, and vehicle subjects. These products are designed to layer naturally over base coats for realistic battlefield and field-worn finishes.
Primers and Surfacers
Proper surface preparation is essential for paint adhesion and a flawless finish. Mr. Hobby Primers provide a reliable foundation for both metal and plastic surfaces, while Mr. Surfacer is available in multiple grades for filling imperfections and creating smooth, paint-ready surfaces across a range of modeling applications.
Topcoats and Protective Clear Coats
Mr. Topcoat protective finishes are available in gloss, semi-gloss, and flat formulations in both aerosol spray and brush-on formats for Gunpla, figures, and scale models. Mr. Super Clear UV-cut coatings provide crystal-clear protection with advanced UV resistance to prevent yellowing and color degradation over time.
Thinners, Cleaners, and Additives
Mr. Color Thinners, Leveling Thinners, Retarders, and Cleaners are available in a range of sizes for use with lacquer and acrylic paints in both brush and airbrush applications. Leveling thinners are especially useful for achieving smooth, brush-mark-free finishes on large surfaces.
