I can’t believe I’ve been watching your videos for a decade and you’re still rocking the same intro 🥰

That was a nice new touch adding photos of the bottles you recommend. Great vid as always.

And with an airbrush the model airline metals flow amazingly. Used their aluminium on a p51 and ita the smoothest metal ive ever put down.

Seeing as im looking to switch up from gw to vallejo and they use inks this is informative for my necrons.

Big reason to switch brands is simply, vallejo goes into an airbrush easier with the bottles for thinning and mixing ratios.

[PaulGestwicki]

When you say that Rust is a good undercoat for brown, do you mean for brown metals or for brown nonmetals? I would like to see an example of how you use it.

Came across this looking for ideas for my black power armor space marines. What are the pros/cons using inks vs enamel washes? Never done either, yet.

[ronaldgrupstra]

Thank you for this video!! Very helpfull :)

The best metallic paint out there is Vallejo Acrylic Metal Color airbrush paints...The best hands down...many colors as well...

[KimHarderFog]

For "grey" Metal colors, nothing beats Vallejo "Metal Color Airbrush Colors" pots - insane coverage, and no lumpiness

[MrHarry]

Try Vallejo Metal Colour, they are made of aluminium, even better than the paints used in this video.

[MrElliptific]

How appropriate, I was about to paint blue metallic vampire armor.

[Nobleshield]

So now that I've seen you use both on various projects which do you think is better? Model Air metallics or the Metal Color range?

[sjbonadonna]

Use inks to preserve the metallic sheen. Thank you.

[ernieme]

can you use actual inks or are the Vallejo inks some other kind of formula ?

[InnuendoOutTheOther]

It sounds silly but I actually find painting grey metal the hardest, gold not so much

[BEdmonson]

VMA Metalics are mostly great imo with one major exception. the gold and brass colors suck. (Edit: lol you nailed it)
