Mr. Hobby Aqueous Hobby Color: H-8 Silver (Metallic)

Achieve a realistic, high-luster metal finish with Mr. Hobby Aqueous H-8 Silver. This premium metallic acrylic is essential for any modeler looking to replicate the look of polished aluminum, chrome accents, or mechanical components. Part of the world-class Aqueous Hobby Color line, H-008 combines a sophisticated metallic pigment with the safety and ease of a water-based formula.

Key Features

Fine-Grain Metallic Particles Engineered with micro-pigments to ensure a smooth, scale-appropriate finish. Unlike standard metallic paints, H-8 avoids the "glitter" look, providing a consistent and realistic metallic sheen.

Safe and User-Friendly The water-based acrylic resin formula is low-odor and non-toxic once dry. It is the ideal choice for hobbyists painting in home environments or for those who prefer working without harsh solvent smells.

Superior Leveling and Flow Formulated to settle evenly across the surface, this paint minimizes brush marks and prevents the metallic flakes from bunching, resulting in a sleek, uniform coat.

Durable and Versatile Once fully cured, the metallic surface is resilient and provides an excellent base for weathering effects, panel lining, and clear-coating.

Application Guide

Hand Brushing: Stir thoroughly before use to ensure metallic particles are evenly distributed. Apply in thin, consistent layers. If the paint feels too thick, a small amount of Mr. Aqueous Thinner will improve flow.

Airbrushing: Thin at a ratio of 1:1 or 1:1.5 (Paint to Thinner). Using Mr. Aqueous Thinner is highly recommended to achieve the smoothest atomization and a more brilliant metallic luster.

Pro-Tips for a Realistic Metal Finish

The Perfect Base: For a deep, reflective silver, apply H-8 over a cured coat of Gloss Black (H-2). For a brighter, aluminum-style finish, apply over a white or light grey primer.

Avoid "Silvering": To keep the metallic finish looking crisp, ensure your surface is as smooth as possible before application.

Cleanup: Clean your tools with water or specialized acrylic cleaner immediately after use. For dried metallic particles in your airbrush, a dedicated hobby tool cleaner is recommended.
