Creative : Pure Metal Pigments

[@colossalbigfoot256]

Is there anything you don’t make. If I had the money I’d buy 1 of everything. Hands down best most versatile products on the market.

[@VGModelling]

Looks nice! Do you plan to release steels and silvers also?

[@benthomsen2220]

Always looking for good new true Metallic paints. looking forward to 3rd party reviews on this.

[@eddy3722]

Hi guys, I love these things - any plans for silver versions?

[@factoriamarciana3757]

Tiene muy buena pinta .Son estables al secar o hay que darles una capa de protección?

[@greenstuffworld]

Secan y son estables, pero si deseas añadirle efectos de envejecido, se recomienda una capa de barniz brillante encima.

[@photoshopafficionado]

Many of chameleon paints need a glossy black primer. Quite often a gloss primer is advised underneath a metallic. Why is a matt black primer the advised method ? Just primed a big model in gloss black as undercoat for a paint job with one of these gold pigments. Should I add some matt primer or is it not that big of a deal ?

[@greenstuffworld]

For some types of pigments, a matt primer is recommended, so that the pigments adhere much better.

[@photoshopafficionado]

@@greenstuffworldOK. So it is more about adherence. Would you advise a coat of matte varnish or matt primer if a piece is already covered with gloss primer ?

[@MaxiFactory]

The results are really stunning, congrats for this new product! I was wondering: are you planning to release them (along the glow pigments) as pre-mixed paints? I reaaaly want to use them but I'm scared of messing up the medium/pigment ratio and cloggingup my airbrush.

[@greenstuffworld]

They will be launched in this format only, because it is the most versatile for different uses.

[@leighbrown5430]

I have some of the antique gold pigment powder and it gives a great shine . After leaving it to dry i tried to apply agrax earthshade but noticed that the paint was being rubbed off . Im assuming thats not meant to happen ?

[@greenstuffworld]

If you are going to do effects on top, we advise you to varnish everything first.

[@ValueRobot]

Are there any USA based retailers for GSW products like these?

[@greenstuffworld]

Hello !! No, we do not have any at the moment.

[@FrankyAkamtsu]

Hey could you ask one of your pro painter friends to paint up a custodes with those Gold colours? i would do it lol, but i can't get them in germany. And i really want to see how a custodes looks like in this gold colour. plus, how shading works with so intense colours.

[@kirthdrak]

pues tienen buena pinta, voy a tener que pedir estas y las luminiscentes que estan curiosas

[@novalechuck7498]

can i made a full bottle with gold metal pigments and master medium (17ml) with agiator balls for better storage/usage or is it a must to mix it only before painting?

[@greenstuffworld]

You can add our steel agitator balls to all your paint bottles.

[@TheCimbrianBull]

This looks like a very interesting new product. Question: should the painted surface be sealed with a varnish once dry or can it withstand being handled?

[@greenstuffworld]

If you want effects such as washing, weathering and so on...we recommend using gloss varnish on top. If you only want the metallic effect, it is not necessary.

[@TheCimbrianBull]

@@greenstuffworld Thanks for the clarification. 👍

[@mentalinquisitor6093]

Awesome !!!

[@cycoholic]

I cringe when you put the wet paintbrush into the bottle of pigment. But the results are amazing. Is there a chrome version?

[@greenstuffworld]

We are working on it!

[@phillipbaertschi2228]

Any plans to manufacture a silver version of this product?

[@greenstuffworld]

At the moment we have not found anything similar in silver. :(

[@FabioPaulotto]

They looks great... There are no chrome/iron/aluminium pigments?

[@greenstuffworld]

We will have something much better!

[@phimosin]

El médium que se usa, es el mismo material que el contrast médium de citadel?

[@greenstuffworld]

No, es nuestro propio medium, formulado especialmente por nosotros.

[@phimosin]

@@greenstuffworld pues me va hacer falta que ya tengo en casa el pigmento de oro viejo 😉

[@cjsemenchuk]

Does anyone know where the models from the first half of the video are from?

[@greenstuffworld]

On our website!

[@nomusenopaint]

So them being made from metal, do they rust or corrode in any way? Also is it possible to just wash, glaze and paint over them normally?

[@greenstuffworld]

Yes, they can rust like any metal. Once varnished, you can apply any effect you wish.

[@XuemingLin]

I mixed it with master medium, when I painted there is no problem. But after the paint dries, the pigment seems separated and it looks bad. What did I do wrong? Also when I left the mixed paint there, the pigment also start separating very quickly.

[@greenstuffworld]

You may have used too much master medium. You should use as little as possible.

[@XuemingLin]

@@greenstuffworld thanks, let me try that.

[@khaymaneights]

looks awesome but, what is the practical benefit of these over a metallic paint?

[@greenstuffworld]

They can be mixed with paint, acrylic and non-acrylic media, resins, varnishes, etc... and the quality of the gloss is perfect.

[@UnvarnishedTarnished]

You'll generally get a smoother result with these. These are just metallic mica pigments. Other companies make these as well and they just work differently. I'd recommend picking up a few to try em out.

[@colossalbigfoot256]

These blow Metallica away if you want the raw look of metal. Copper looked like a piece of real copper. The mirror finish on those large flat pieces was like a mirror.

[@KachZz]

@@greenstuffworld so none then?

[@greenstuffworld]

@@KachZz I'm sorry, we don't quite understand your question.

[@michakonwicki6781]

What do you mean that they are made of real metals? Is for example gold pigment made of real gold?

[@greenstuffworld]

It is not real gold, but it is real metal. ;)

[@Mithlinthar]

Okay, these pigments are made of the real metal. You put a wet brush (soaked in an acrylic medium which probably contains water) in the bottle. Isn't that a quick way to corrode this pigment?

[@greenstuffworld]

So far, none of the evidence we have from months ago has had any rust. When you use a medium you "encapsulate" the metal particles, preventing corrosion. Although you can use an oxide accelerator, if you want to imitate rust.

[@greenmaniatv4615]

Nice my dear😘.

[@jorgef.]

Por que mezclas médium al metalico?

[@greenstuffworld]

sirve como soporte para que se quede adherido a cualquier superficie, asi de sencillo :)

[@jorgef.]

@@greenstuffworld osea que glasea la pintura y al mismo tiempo le da adherencia con la resina que lleva.

[@ForjadoresdeJuegos]

Que puro se queda
