Acrylic paint VALLEJO 77.725 Gold 32 ml, liquid solvent-free

VALLEJO 77.725 Gold 32 ml is a liquid, solvent-free acrylic metallic paint formulated for model making, miniatures, crafts and fine-detail painting. Part of the Metal Color range, this water-based gold uses aluminium pigments to deliver high brightness and strong reflectivity while remaining compatible with standard acrylic primers and varnishes. The 32 ml tube provides a concentrated metallic finish that can be thinned with water or Vallejo airbrush additives for layered techniques and smooth application.

Advantages

This solvent-free acrylic offers rapid drying and excellent self-leveling properties that preserve small details on the model surface. The aluminium-pigmented formulation produces an intense metallic gold appearance with good reflectivity and the ability to be mixed or tinted with other Vallejo colors. It is compatible with standard acrylic primers and varnishes and can be applied by brush or airbrush, allowing both precision work and broad coverage without requiring enamels or lacquers.

Suitable for

• Scale models and aircraft detailing where metallic gold finishes are required
• Miniatures and figures for hobby painting and tabletop gaming
• Craft projects and decorative details on small objects
• Airbrush and brush work for layered metallic effects

How to use

Shake or stir the tube before use to ensure homogeneous dispersion of metallic pigments. For brush application, apply thin, even coats and allow to dry between layers to build the desired intensity. For airbrush use, dilute gradually with water, Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to achieve the preferred viscosity; recommended compressor settings are approximately 15–20 psi (0.5–1 kg). When applying to aircraft model components, use a gloss black primer underneath to enhance the metallic effect. Wait the recommended drying time between coats and allow around 12 hours before applying paint masks.

Usage recommendations

For best results, maintain the airbrush clean with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner, use thin multiple layers rather than a single heavy coat, and store the tube capped in a cool, dry place. Consider using a gloss metal varnish for protection and enhanced sheen once the metallic layers are fully dry.
