Mr Hobby Aqueous Hobby Colour H-10 Copper Metallic Acrylic Paint 10ml

Mr. Hobby Aqueous Hobby Color: H-10 Copper (Metallic)

Replicate the warm, rich tones of real metal with Mr. Hobby Aqueous H-10 Copper. This premium metallic acrylic is a favorite for modelers who need to simulate heat-treated engine parts, electrical wiring, antique finishes, or complex sci-fi machinery. Part of the world-class Aqueous Hobby Color line, H-10 offers a sophisticated, scale-appropriate metallic sheen with the convenience and safety of a water-based formula.

Key Features

Micro-Fine Metallic Flakes Engineered with high-quality pigments to provide a smooth, realistic copper finish. H-10 avoids the "glitter" effect seen in lower-grade paints, ensuring that even under close inspection, the metal looks authentic and in-scale.

Safe and User-Friendly The water-based acrylic resin formula is low-odor and non-toxic once dry. It is the perfect choice for modelers working in home environments or those who prefer to avoid the harsh fumes of solvent-based paints.

Exceptional Flow and Leveling Designed to settle evenly across the surface of your model. This minimizes brush marks and prevents the metallic particles from pooling, resulting in a consistent, factory-quality luster.

Highly Durable Finish Once fully cured, the paint forms a resilient film that stands up well to handling, making it an excellent base for weathering washes, panel liners, and clear coats.

Application Guide

Hand Brushing: Stir thoroughly with a mixing tool before use to redistribute the metallic pigments. Apply in thin, consistent layers. If the paint feels too thick, a small amount of Mr. Aqueous Thinner will improve the flow for a streak-free result.

Airbrushing: Thin at a ratio of 1:1 or 1:1.5 (Paint to Thinner). For the ultimate smooth finish and optimal atomization, we highly recommend using Mr. Aqueous Thinner.

Pro-Tips for a Realistic Copper Finish

The Perfect Base Coat: For a bright, "new" copper look, apply H-010 over a white or light grey primer. For a weathered, "industrial" copper, apply it over a coat of Gloss Black (H-2) or Dark Brown.

Replicating Heat Stress: Use H-10 on exhaust manifolds and then lightly mist transparent blue or purple over it to simulate the heat-discolored metal found on high-performance vehicles.

Cleanup: Clean your brushes and airbrush with water or specialized acrylic cleaner while the paint is still wet. For dried metallic residue, a dedicated hobby tool cleaner is recommended.
