Video about how to use Metal Color range by José Brito. Metal Color is a range of waterbased metallic colors, specially designed for airbrush techniques.
These paints are great for brushing but I cannot get them to airbrush consistently and give an even coverage. I've tried out of the bottle, with Mr Color Leveling Thinner, with water (amazingly bad), 15psi, 20 psi, 25psi, 1.8mm needle, 3mm needle (both Badger SOTAR) all deepcleaned between tests, with Tamiya X-1 as primer, Vallejo 77.660 (the recommended primer) as primer and just onto degreased plasticard. The coverage was so uneven that at one point I even thought I'd reassembled my airbrush incorrectly, so I did a quick flush and sprayed some Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver but had no problems whatsoever.
Do you live in a area with high humidity? I have always had mixed results, Houston and Savannah. I wonder if it is the high humidity or AC…… I will try some Tamiya.
I went from using game colour metallics I got in my set to using these. The difference between the two is night and day. Look better, paint better, cover better, just amazing.
VERY NICELY DONE. I AM ABOUT 1 YEAR INTO THE AIR BRUSH THING, MOSTLY ON AIRCRAFT MODELS. IT TAKES LOTS OF PRACTICE AND YOU SEEM TO HAVE IT DOWN..AGAIN NICELY DONE!
if you think blasting the paint onto something until it gives an orange peel effect and looks ready to run off is 'down' you are talking all the wrong advice
Great video BUT to all similar videos involving how to airbrush Model air/color,primers and varnishes you should always mention the air pressure/precise mixing ratio.
From my experince, I find they are good to go straight from the bottle (after they have been mixed thoroughly mind you) no extra thinner needed. I airbrush regularly at about 25 psi, but with these paints, I've found that's too high for them, so I lower the pressure between 20-15 psi, and they flow on much nicer, and I have more control.
Please can you always add some notes as to whether you are using diluted paint and if so what ratio and what thinner?, undiluted paint?, Nozzle size? Air Pressure? Thank you
Hello Melvin! You can use thinner and improver with our Metal Color range (or use it straight from the bottle) and also with our Model color range. This is a chart where you can check the ratios of water thinner you can use facebook.com/vallejocolors/photos/a.296855687010167/4144607128901651/?type=3 Regarding the noozzle and pressure: 0,4 goes well and also 15-20 PSI should be perfect but you can change it depending on your needs.
@@vallejocolors Thank you kindly for your reply, if you could additionally provide the same information for all of your paint range that would be very helpful. Thank you
So im using a couple of these and I love them. I just painted a plane with the aluminum. What varnish should i use to keep that metallic shine I have right now with just the aluminum paint? Matt? Gloss? Semi? Please help me!!
Nice video, really shows how realistic the colors look. I just have one request. Can you maybe list all the metal colors from darkest do brightest (excluding Copper and Gold) so that we have a general idea where to start. I'm afraid i would buy the wrong color and its hard to see which ones are the right ones for me
Esta muy bien,un buen tutorial,pero hecho de menos una traduccion a español....Porque son muy interesantes tus videos y se nota que eres un artista en esto
Very informative. A word of advice: make sure viewers can read your superimposed graphics. Occasionally the black of the graphic ends up over a black area on screen, rendering the word or words illegible. Other than that, great video. Thanks.
Lovely finishes! I have a problem, however, spraying the Vallejo Metal Color Exhaust Manifold and Pale Burnt Metal with my 0.3 Iwata at 15 psi... the paint keeps on stuttering, and then it comes out in a rush. I have cleaned the airbrush meticulously, and it's used ONLY for pure acrylics. Any ideas?
I used panzer grey primer for the metal gold and the result was a bit greenish. Should I use a light brown primer, or the gloss black primer you used in the video to achieve a nice yellow gold? It would be for a Bracelet of Anubis
Hello Tony! The bigger the needle, the easier to airbrush these colors due to its pigments :) and the compressor air pressure is recommended at 15 - 20 PSI or 0.5 to 1 kg.
Many thanks. I used AV paint a lot, and recently have had very good experience with the metal series. The only issue I got is for 77657. I always made it too thick, so the surface is not so even. I don’t have such issue with other AV metals. Appreciate for any tips. Do I need to dilute it more? Am using 2.5 Bar / 30 psi. Also I feel a bit hard to observe whether / how the 77657 has been painted as it is very transparent… thank you so much.
Can the metal varnish only be applied to metal colors? Or can it be to any metallic paint? What would be the different outcome if I used the metal color varnish vs Mecha color gloss varnish over metallics and what is the drying time?
Hi Jeff, Metal Color is for airbrushing and does't need to be thinned. Model Color is brush formula and it's not for airbrushing techniques, but you can use it if you thin the Model Color paint with airbrush thinner,
Sí, te recomendamos usar el Airbrush Thinner. Es recomendable usarlo con todas las pinturas acrílicas para obtener un mejor resultado y no atascar el aerógrafo. Si usas la gama AIR, estas pinturas ya vienen preparadas especialmente para el aero, y no es necesario usar Thinner, aunque puedes hacerlo si quieres obtener una textura más fina. Un saludo!
Hi Stefan, The primer must be well shaken and can be used directly from the bottle. Pressure around 1.5Bar and needle 0.4mm. If does not work like this, try add some thinner. ratio 75/ 25 (Primer/ Thinner). Hope you find it useful.
Hola! Un pregunta: se pueden conseguir acabado tipo espejo? Se prodría conseguir tal efecto puliendolo con cremas pulidoras Tamiya o se tiene que poner una laca transparente encima? Saludos al canal!
Hola Jonathan, con Metal Color es un poco complicado conseguir efecto espejo. Al pulir la pintura se pierde la capa porque suele ser muy fina. Aunque tengan un acabado brillante, no se conseguiria un acabado tal como el que buscas con el pulido :)

cool video but my most important question i not answered. Do you need to dilute the paint? If so, can you use the normal Vajello thinner or do you need some other stuff?
Nice concepts. The silent video with airbrush sounds sort of sucked. Turned volume down quickly. Air brushing techniques seemed odd. You started and stopped over the parts. Instead of starting of the part, then going over it, finishing clear. Stops excessive paint build up. Finally, was that a gladius sword at the start? I thought they were bronze, not steel...
Can you paint over the seal varnish like WW2 Japanese planes? I want to make a paint chip effect on Japanese planes. I'll use liquid mask to make a chipped IJN and IJAAF green over aluminum effect.
2 ways to do so 1. Use a sponge method 2. Paint entire airframe in metal color, places you want to chip out cover with chipping medium, spray camouflage color and whipe out with water after colors dry
Hello! If you need help with cloggings, let us know so we can help you. Many painters use our colors daily without a problem so we want you to be one of them too :)
It is the same paint as the vallejo model air color ? cause I have the 2016 metallic air color like "Model Air 063 Silver", and I never use them. I want to know if it will be good for the WW2 scale plane. Is it as good as aclad?
This is a different range than the model air. From what I have read this is a better metallic paint. I have only used this paint and it is excellent. Alclad is excellent but very fiddly to use.
I used the exact primer and chrome from vallejo, but on some pieces the metal color looks frosted while small pieces look more glossy, why is that? I only diluted the metal color with some drops of vallejo primer.
Honestly,it's because that gloss primer is rubbish. Dries into glossy but grainy surface which is not suitable for profi metalic finishes. Maybe different primer would help (but that would be a lacquer one) or just don't use it at all. Chrome or duraluminium are really great for waterbased acrylics and here is how I used them for nice metalic surface: 1. Prepare the plastic - smooth it with sanding sponge to at least 3000 grit. 2. Mix the paint with one drop of Vallejo flow improver. 3. Set the low pressure (optional) 4. Spray it in very light passes.
Hello, The Pirate Penguin! Model Air metallics formula has great metallic pigments and a matt finish. On the other hand, Metal Color is an innovative range of metallic colors which uses aluminum pigments in its formulation. The Metal Color range offers a wide range of shades of exceptional brightness and extraordinary power of reflection 😄
I've tried hand brushing these a few times, they require a few layers to get the color down, but it is doable. However I've found that these are really quite fun to airbrush, and they have a beautiful tone to them. I'll be using these in full detail in an upcoming P-51 build.

I've been using the Gunmetal Grey with a brush, and it goes on really well. Just build it up in a few thin coats, and give the paint on your palette a stir every few minutes to stop the pigment and metal flakes from separating.
@@darwinchee8722 Just a tiny bit of water for normal painting, or some Vallejo Thinner Medium if I want the paint transparent. They barely need it unless you're using them for blending or something.

cool video but my most important question i not answered.
Do you need to dilute the paint? If so, can you use the normal Vajello thinner or do you need some other stuff?
No, you don't need it but this depends on your likes and needs. You can thin them with water or Thinner.
Nice concepts. The silent video with airbrush sounds sort of sucked. Turned volume down quickly.
Air brushing techniques seemed odd. You started and stopped over the parts. Instead of starting of the part, then going over it, finishing clear. Stops excessive paint build up.
Finally, was that a gladius sword at the start? I thought they were bronze, not steel...
What air pressure do you use for your airbrush in this video? I have an Iwata airbrush if that makes a difference.
can i mix the metal color with other Vallejo color range
Can you paint over the seal varnish like WW2 Japanese planes? I want to make a paint chip effect on Japanese planes. I'll use liquid mask to make a chipped IJN and IJAAF green over aluminum effect.
2 ways to do so
1. Use a sponge method
2. Paint entire airframe in metal color, places you want to chip out cover with chipping medium, spray camouflage color and whipe out with water after colors dry

Welcome to the poor modellers club
How do these paints stand up to masking? (Tamiya tape for example)? Also how durable are they for handling?
You can mask our paints with two options (liquid mask or masking tape). We have available both and although Metal Color dries very quickly and is resistant after application, it is advisable to wait 12 hours after application before applying any paint masks or tapes.
@@vallejocolors Thank you :)
From a favourable review elsewhere, the guy recommended using the Vallejo Metal Varnish.
Makes sense to me.
What pressure are you spraying at in this video.
Usually, when using an airbrush the pressure on the compressor must be 1,8-2,0 bar.
Where did you get the blood effects?
Tamiya clear red is good for blood.

could i get away with just using a cheap dust mask when spraying this paints in doors with the window open?
Hello. Yes, you can. You do not need special protection to use our paints with airbrush. You can use your airbrush even with the window closed.
primers are awful. They easily peels off, no sanding/filing possible at all
you need to let them cure for a few days before messing with them.
✋➕👍
whatressure didyou use?
Hello Dick Smith! For airbrushing these colors, the compressor air pressure is recommended at 15 - 20 PSI or 0.5 to 1 kg.
