Paint set VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo Oilbrusher Set - Bare Metal Colors Set

VALLEJO Vallejo Ammo Oilbrusher Set - Bare Metal Colors Set is a curated collection of oil-based metallic paints formulated for model makers and miniature painters. The set contains a range of bare metal shades that reproduce steel, iron, brass and other metallic surfaces with subtle variations in tone and reflectivity. Designed for use with both airbrush and brush techniques, these oil-based colors offer extended working time for blending, weathering and fine detailing on scale models, vehicles and figures.

Advantages

This oilbrusher set provides realistic metallic finishes with paints that have been balanced for smooth application through airbrushes while still performing well with brushes. The oil formulation delivers longer open time for wet-on-wet blending and controlled feathering, enabling gradual buildup of weathering and metallic highlights. Pigment concentration and particle size are optimized for consistent coverage and reduced clogging in nozzle tips when used according to manufacturer guidance.

Suitable for

• Weathering and streaking effects on military vehicles and armor
• Detailing and highlighting of miniature figures and model kits
• Simulating exposed metal, worn edges and mechanical parts
• Layered metallic effects requiring blending and glazing

Key specifications

• Paint base: oil-based metallic formulations suitable for airbrush and brush application
• Color range: selection of bare metal shades including steel, iron and brass tones
• Finish: metallic sheen with variable reflectivity depending on layering
• Working time: extended open time for blending and weathering
• Compatibility: formulated for use on common modeling substrates when used over appropriate primers and seals

How to use

Prepare the model surface by cleaning and applying a compatible primer or basecoat. For airbrush application, thin the oilbrusher paint as recommended by the manufacturer to achieve optimal flow and avoid clogging; test on a scrap surface first. Apply in thin, controlled passes to build up metallic effects and allow sufficient drying between layers when switching to different techniques. For brushwork, use soft brushes and slow, deliberate strokes for blending and feathering; mineral spirits or designated thinner may be used to adjust viscosity and drying time. Seal the finished work with an appropriate varnish if needed to protect the metallic finish.

Usage recommendations

Use proper ventilation and avoid skin contact; store paints upright in a cool, dry place. When combining airbrush and brush techniques, allow adequate drying time and test compatibility on a sample to prevent unwanted interactions with underlying paints or varnishes.
