Vallejo Metallic Metal Hydra Turquoise Airbrush Paint
A vivid metallic blue-green that looks like futuristic alloy, anodized metal, or magical patina straight out of the bottle. Sprays smooth through an airbrush, laying down a clean, even metallic coat that stays scale-accurate with ultra-fine pigment.
Use Hydra Turquoise when you want eye-catching contrast on Gundam trims, sci-fi panels, cockpit details, or terrain pieces that need a pop of exotic metal.
- Bright metallic turquoise tone for anodized or arcane alloy effects
- Airbrush-ready acrylic metallic for smooth, consistent spraying
- Ultra-fine pigment for realistic metal sheen without grainy sparkle
- Great coverage in thin coats, preserving fine surface detail
- Excellent for layering, shading, washes, and patina weathering
Suggested uses
- Gundam and mecha armor trims, vents, thrusters, and inner-frame accents
- Sci-fi and fantasy miniatures needing energy-metal or relic finishes
- Aircraft cockpit highlights, instrument surrounds, and small metal parts
- Armor models for stylized accents, markings, and detail contrast
- Dioramas and terrain: statues, pipes, machinery, alien tech, treasure props
Tips
- Prime black for maximum depth, or grey for a brighter pop
- Spray multiple light passes to build a smooth metallic layer
- Highlight edges with silver or a lighter turquoise metallic
- Add patina with thin green/blue washes in recesses
- Seal with clear coat if you plan heavy masking or handling
