RapidAir™ 12 Metal Colors Set
Pre-Thinned · 0.3–0.5mm Ready · No Primer · Solvent-Like Performance
What Is This?
12 pre-thinned metallic acrylic paints — spray straight from the bottle through a 0.3–0.5mm airbrush. The RapidAir™ formula eliminates the three problems that make water-based metallics frustrating: beading on plastic, sagging on vertical surfaces, and uneven pigment coverage. Sticks directly to ABS, resin, glass, metal, and fabric — no primer required on most surfaces.

What RapidAir™ Fixes
💧 Beading eliminated — lays flat in a sheet-like layer instead of pulling into droplets
📉 Sag eliminated — stays where it lands on vertical surfaces
🎯 Even metallic coverage — pigment stays in suspension, no light/dark banding
⚠️ Heads Up
Shake before every use — metallic pigment settles between sessions. Inadequate shaking is the main cause of streaky finish.
Allow full cure before applying solvent-based varnish — test on scrap first to check compatibility.

What nozzle size do I need for miniatures?
0.3mm is the versatile all-rounder for base coats and priming; 0.2mm suits fine detail work. Larger nozzles (0.5mm) are for terrain and big surfaces.
Do I need a compressor with a tank?
A tank smooths the airflow and reduces pulsing, giving more consistent results — worth it if you spray regularly, but tankless compressors work fine for occasional use.
How do I keep an airbrush working well?
Flush with airbrush cleaner between colours and strip-clean after each session. Most spraying problems are cleaning problems.
