Water-based Metallic Paint Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic Metallic — Gun Metal, 1 pc

Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic Metallic — Gun Metal is a water-based metallic hobby paint offered in a single liquid bottle. This gun metal shade combines grey tones with a metallic sheen achieved through a proprietary blend of aluminium flake and mica. The formula is non-toxic and conforms to ASTM D-4236; it is intended for detailed work on miniatures, scale models and tabletop gaming pieces where metallic finishes, highlights and weathering effects are required.

Advantages

The Fanatic Metallic formulation delivers strong coverage and a bright, shimmery finish due to its aluminium and mica content while remaining water-soluble for easy thinning and cleanup. Its improved pigmentation reduces the number of coats needed to reach an even metallic surface compared with many traditional metallic paints. Being non-toxic and ASTM D-4236 compliant makes it suitable for hobby use in hobby studios and home environments when used as directed. The paint also mixes well with other Warpaints Fanatic Metallic colours to create custom metallic tones.

Suitable for

• Miniature painting and figure detailing
• Scale model metallic parts and detailing
• Tabletop gaming pieces and basing highlights
• Weathering, drybrushing and metallic highlights

Key specifications

• Type: Water-based metallic hobby paint
• Finish: Shimmery gun metal metallic
• Base components: Aluminium flake and mica for coverage and sheen
• Application: Brush or thin for airbrush use
• Safety: Non-toxic when used as directed; conforms to ASTM D-4236

How to use

Shake the bottle thoroughly before use to re-suspend metallic pigments. Apply directly with a fine brush to small details or larger areas, or thin with water or an appropriate hobby thinner for airbrush application. Apply thin, even coats and allow adequate drying time between layers to build up opacity and shine. For stronger metallic effects, use layering and light drybrushing techniques; for smoother coverage, apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat.

Usage recommendations

Store the paint upright in a cool, dry place and keep the lid tightly closed to prevent drying or pigment separation. Test compatibility on a scrap surface before mixing with other paints. Keep out of reach of children under 36 months. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.
