Paint - Army Painter Speedpaint Metallic 2.0 Aztec Gold, acrylic metallic miniature paint

Army Painter Speedpaint Metallic 2.0 Aztec Gold is an acrylic metallic miniature paint formulated for fast basecoating and bright metallic highlights on figures, vehicles and terrain. The single-bottle formula combines pigment and a medium designed to deliver high coverage and a reflective gold finish suited to decorative details on tabletop models. The paint is intended for hobbyists and miniature painters who need a reliable gold tone that applies smoothly and reduces brush strokes during rapid painting sessions.

Advantages

The fast-flowing acrylic formula provides strong coverage and a consistent metallic sheen in one coat or as a quick base for layered highlights. The paint is compatible with common miniature painting techniques and supports subsequent washes, inks and varnishes without loss of metallic effect. Its finish is specifically tuned to produce a bright Aztec-style gold that shows detail while saving time on repetitive basecoating.

Suitable for

• Basecoating metallic armour, weapons and ornaments on miniatures
• Speedpainting large numbers of models for tabletop games
• Applying bright metallic accents on terrain pieces and scenic elements
• Layering with washes and glazes to create depth on gold surfaces

Key specifications

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure pigments and medium are evenly mixed. Apply directly with a brush to primed surfaces; for best results start from a thin coat and build coverage as needed. Use a clean brush and moderate brush strokes to minimise visible brush marks. Allow the paint to fully dry before applying washes, inks or varnishes. Thin with a little water or compatible acrylic medium if necessary to improve flow for fine detail work.

Usage recommendations

For dependably bright results on miniatures, prime models with a matte or satin primer compatible with acrylic paints, apply Speedpaint Metallic 2.0 Aztec Gold in thin layers for best texture control, and protect finished areas with a suitable varnish after any additional washes or highlights are fully dry.
