Paint - Army Painter Speedpaint Metallic 2.0 Polished Silver (2016359)

Army Painter Speedpaint Metallic 2.0 Polished Silver is a metallic miniature paint formulated for rapid application on models, miniatures and terrain details. Part of the Speedpaint range, this Polished Silver finish combines a dense metallic pigment load with a flow-optimized medium to deliver reflective silver coverage that reduces the number of layers and the time required to achieve a finished metallic surface.

Advantages

This Speedpaint offers strong metallic reflectivity and a smooth finish in fewer coats compared with traditional metallic paints. Its consistency is tuned for quick brushwork and controlled pooling in recesses, allowing clear highlights on edges and raised areas. The formulation is suitable for use over a variety of primed surfaces and is compatible with standard hobby thinning and sealing products.

Suitable for

• Highlighting armour plates, weapons and metallic trims on miniatures
• Base-coating metallic surfaces where speed is important
• Tabletop gaming figures and large batches of models
• Terrain pieces and scenic elements requiring a silver metallic look

Key specifications

• Finish: Polished silver metallic
• Product type: Acrylic miniature paint
• Application: Brush-on
• Coverage: High pigment load for strong reflectivity
• Drying: Fast-drying acrylic medium
• Compatibility: Suitable for use over standard primers and with hobby thinners and varnishes

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure pigments are evenly suspended. Apply with a clean brush in thin, even coats; start with a moderate layer and add additional coats where stronger reflectivity is required. Allow each coat to dry to the touch before applying another. For recessed shading, allow pigment to settle slightly into crevices during application, then lightly remove excess from raised edges for contrast. If thinning is necessary for fine details, use an appropriate acrylic hobby thinner.

Usage recommendations

Use a suitable primer designed for acrylic paints to improve adhesion and durability. Seal finished areas with a compatible varnish to protect the metallic finish during handling and gameplay. Store the paint upright in a cool, dry place and avoid freezing temperatures.
