Pure Metal Silver – Metallic Powder Pigment

Pure Metal Silver by Green Stuff World is an innovative product made from real aluminium, designed to achieve highly realistic metallic finishes with intense shine and excellent reflectivity on miniatures, scale models, figures and other modelling projects.

Unlike conventional metallic paints, which use metallic-effect particles, this formula contains genuine aluminium, providing an exceptionally bright and natural finish. Furthermore, unlike other products in the Pure Metal Pigments range, its composition does not oxidise, allowing it to retain its original appearance without the need for anti-oxidation treatments.

The product comes in the form of compacted particles shaped into small granules or pellets, created by incorporating a binder that makes handling easier, improves safety during use, and reduces the dispersion of fine particles. This semi-solid form breaks down and mixes easily with different acrylic mediums, allowing the application method to be adapted to each project.

Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of painting and modelling techniques, mixing it with mediums, varnishes or other colours to achieve customised finishes. For maximum reflectivity, it is recommended to use as little binder as possible, as excessive amounts may reduce its brilliance. Once applied, the surface can be gently polished with a suitable material, provided the adhesion allows it, to enhance its shine and achieve an even smoother finish.

To preserve its properties, keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

How to Use Pure Metal Silver

This product can be applied using different techniques depending on the desired finish:

1. Mixing with Master Medium, Chrome Varnish or Simply Paint

The easiest and most recommended method is to mix a small amount of the product with a medium, varnish or paint, stirring until a uniform consistency is achieved.

We particularly recommend Master Medium by Green Stuff World, as it helps distribute the particles evenly and ensures proper adhesion without excessively compromising their shine.

• Use small amounts of medium to maintain maximum reflectivity.

• Apply with a brush over a preferably matte surface.

• Mix with other colours to create customised shades and effects.

• Adjust the viscosity for airbrush application, provided the mixture is sufficiently dispersed.

It can also be combined with acrylic and non-acrylic mediums, as well as certain epoxy resins, after checking compatibility beforehand.

2. Drybrushing Application

Another particularly effective technique is to apply the product directly over a black primer or dark surface using drybrushing. Lightly load the brush with the particles and work them over the raised details using gentle, repeated strokes. This creates a spectacular shiny metallic finish on raised areas, while recesses retain their dark tone, adding depth and contrast.

When applied directly using drybrushing, the particles must subsequently be secured with a compatible medium, varnish or fixative. Without this step, they may rub off during handling.

Although both techniques deliver excellent results, premixing the pigment with a medium is the easiest and most recommended option for most users.
