RapidAir™ 12 Metal Colors Set

Pre-Thinned · 0.3–0.5mm Ready · No Primer · Solvent-Like Performance

✨ 12 Metallic Colours ⚡ RapidAir™ Tech 💧 Water-Based · Non-Toxic 🚫 No Primer

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.

12 Colours

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.

Usage

✅ 0.3–0.5mm airbrush — no dilution needed

✅ Works on: ABS, PC, PE, resin, glass, metal, fabric

✅ Working conditions: 5–40°C, humidity <80%

Notes · Q & A

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.
