Paint - VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo Oilbrusher Gold 10 ml oil-based metallic paint

VALLEJO Ammo Oilbrusher Gold 10 ml is an oil-based metallic paint formulated for modelling and miniature work. Packaged in a small bottle with an integrated brush, this gold finish paint combines the metallic sheen of traditional metal pigments with the flow and working time characteristics of oil paints. It is intended for precise application on scale models, figures and diorama elements where metallic highlights, shading and subtle weathering are required.

Advantages

This oil-based metallic paint offers controlled brush application thanks to the built-in brush cap and medium viscosity that facilitates smooth metallic coverage. The formulation provides extended open time compared with fast-drying acrylics, allowing blending, subtle feathering and gradual build-up of highlights. The gold metallic effect produces reflective finishes suitable for metallic parts, decorative details and small accents while maintaining good adhesion to common modelling substrates when used on primed surfaces.

Suitable for

• Scale models with metallic details (armor fittings, weapons, decorations)
• Miniatures and figures requiring metallic highlights and shading
• Dioramas and accessories for weathering and accenting metal surfaces
• Touch-ups and small-area metallic painting where brush control is important

Key specifications

• Formulation: oil-based metallic paint
• Color: metallic gold
• Volume: 10 ml
• Application method: brush (integrated brush cap for precise application)
• Properties: extended open time for blending, medium viscosity

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform pigment dispersion. Open the cap and use the integrated brush to apply thin, even layers to a clean, primed surface. Allow sufficient drying time between layers to build depth and achieve the desired metallic intensity. Use a solvent-compatible thinner or mineral spirits for brush cleaning and for reducing viscosity if necessary. Work in a well-ventilated area and follow normal safety practices for oil-based paints.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results on plastic or resin models, apply a suitable primer first and test the paint on a small area. To create shaded metallic effects, apply a base layer, blend highlights while the paint is open, and then use light glazes or thin layers to refine reflections. Clean brushes with mineral spirits and follow with soap and water when practical.
