Gaia Metallic Color 126 - Star Bright Champagne Gold

The 15 ml bottle is small but goes a long way, and the tiny aluminum particles really do catch the light like brushed metal. I hit it with a clear coat after it dried in about 20 minutes and it’s got that cool, reflective depth you don’t get from standard golds.

This aluminum-based lacquer drys to a finish that genuinely catches light like stamped metal, not plastic. The 15 ml bottle is small but a little goes far on my gunpla parts.

The lacquer base flows on ridiculously smooth and self-levels in a single pass, so the champagne tone stays even without streaks. Dried down to a proper metallic sheen that really does read as stamped metal rather than sparkly paint. 15ml is a touch small, but a little goes a long way on my airbrus
