Paint, Army Painter Speedpaint Metallic 2.0 Golden Armour — metallic tabletop miniature paint

Army Painter Speedpaint Metallic 2.0 Golden Armour is a metallic tabletop miniature paint formulated for fast basecoating and delivering an opaque gold metallic finish in a single coat. Designed for hobbyists and wargamers, this acrylic-based formula works directly over standard acrylic primers and is suitable for brush application on figures, vehicles and scenery where quick, consistent metallic coverage is required.

Advantages

This Speedpaint offers strong opacity and metallic reflectivity that reduce the need for multiple basecoats. The consistency is optimized for brush control, minimizing streaks and providing even coverage across detailed surfaces. It dries to a durable finish compatible with common acrylic varnishes and is formulated to integrate smoothly with other acrylic paints and washes used in miniature painting workflows.

Suitable for

• Basecoating metal armour, trim and weapons on tabletop miniatures
• Quick metallic finishes on model vehicles and terrain pieces
• Projects requiring a single-coat opaque gold layer
• Hobbyists and wargamers looking for time-efficient painting steps

Key specifications

• Finish: Metallic gold
• Type: Acrylic-based miniature paint
• Coverage: Opaque in a single coat on primed surfaces (coverage may vary by surface porosity)
• Application: Brush
• Compatibility: Works over standard acrylic primers and with acrylic varnishes and washes
• Drying: Touch-dry in typical room conditions; full cure depends on layer thickness and ambient conditions

How to use

Shake the bottle thoroughly before use to ensure pigments and metallic flakes are evenly suspended. Apply over a clean, fully cured acrylic primer for best results. Use a suitable brush and apply a thin, even coat; the paint is formulated to provide an opaque metallic layer in one pass, but a second thin coat can improve uniformity on highly textured surfaces. Allow adequate drying time between layers and before applying washes or varnishes.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, thin the paint slightly with clean water or an acrylic medium if brush strokes appear; avoid solvent thinners. Test on a spare piece or an inconspicuous area to confirm coverage and drying times. Seal finished miniatures with an appropriate acrylic varnish to protect the metallic finish.
