About product

A velvet red metallic for smooth surfaces

The paint Mr. Color Velvet Red Metallic is a special offshoot of the lacquer line of the Japanese maker Gunze. The metallic pigment in it is set so that the surface resembles velvet: the sheen changes noticeably according to the viewing angle and according to how light the surface underneath is. It comes in an 18 ml bottle.

What to expect from the shade

Over a black base the result looks deepest and darkest, over a gray or white one brighter and livelier instead. This can be used deliberately, because a single paint can give several appearances depending on what lies under it. The effect stands out on smooth surfaces, while a rough surface breaks it up. It therefore pays to make a test sample on an offcut of plastic and only then choose the shade of the base.

Recommended handling

  • shake the contents longer than with ordinary paints, as the metallic particles settle to the bottom
  • apply it with an airbrush in a fine mist, as a brush leaves streaks
  • thin it only with the thinner of the same lacquer line
  • mask only after full curing, as metallic coats are sensitive to tape
  • leave metallic coats to the very end of the build

Field of use

It is aimed at models of cars and motorcycles, at fantasy armor and robot figures, where the surface is meant to behave differently from flat paintwork. It can also be used to imitate fabric with a deep pile, because a changeable sheen is exactly what is typical of velvet.

A flammable liquid. Use it in a ventilated space and out of the reach of children.

FAQ

A black one gives the deepest and darkest result, a light one a brighter one instead. The choice of base matters as much here as the paint itself.

Practically not. The metallic particles line up into streaks under the stroke and the velvet impression disappears. Only a fine spray will give the result.

A clear coat on top will mute the effect. If you need one for the sake of decals, apply it only locally and as thinly as possible.

It is not. It is a solvent-based lacquer and to thin it you need the thinner of the same line.
