Best metallic acrylic paint...

(1/1)

Harry Faversham:
I'm after chainmail, gunmetal, brass, bronze and gold. Being very new to acrylic paint I'm not sure which manufacturer does the best metallics?

???

beefcake:
I like army painter range. Not sure if it is the best though.

Ogrob:
Scale75 is far better than anything I have tried. Far beyond P3, GW, Vallejo. Vallejo Air comes close, but has problems with not drying waterproof and the pigment coming loose if you paint over it. I have just ordered some Vallejo liquid gold to try, but they are alcohol based which is another ball game.

Duncan McDane:
The current GW metallics actually are very good, great deep colours, excellent covering. And I still have a soft spot for the old Gamecraft paints, their chainmail is a great indermediate between the GW Boltgun Metal and Chain Mail.

pauld:
I just saw this youtube and ordered metallic sharpies straight away



... haven't tried myself yet but looks super easy

he gets the pens out around 1:14
