Product Information
Full details
The Green Stuff World Metal Filters in Green Interference are designed for miniature painters and scale modelers looking to add a sophisticated, iridescent metallic shift to their projects. These 17ml acrylic filters excel at transforming flat base coats into dynamic surfaces with a high-shine, metallic finish, making them ideal for alien armor, vehicle highlights, or magical effects. However, users should note that the effect is highly dependent on the underlying base coat color, requiring experimentation to achieve the desired visual intensity.

FAQs
Can I mix this with other colors?
Yes, you can mix the filter with other acrylic paints to create custom metallic-tinted shades, though it is primarily designed as a top-coat filter.
Do I need to varnish the model after applying the filter?
It is recommended to use a thin layer of varnish to protect the finish, especially on high-contact areas like gaming miniatures.
Does it work over metallic base coats?
Yes, applying the filter over a silver or gold base coat will tint the metallic layer and create a unique interference effect.
Is this product non-toxic?
Yes, like most acrylic hobby paints, it is water-based and non-toxic, though standard safety practices like good ventilation are always advised.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times vary based on ambient humidity and layer thickness, but it generally touches dry within 15-30 minutes.
Troubleshooting
The metallic effect is too faint
Ensure you are using a dark base coat and apply additional thin layers until the desired saturation is reached.
Paint is clogging the airbrush
Thin the paint slightly with an appropriate acrylic thinner and verify your air pressure is set correctly for metallic mediums.
Streaking during brush application
Use a wider, softer brush and apply the paint in thin, even strokes, avoiding excessive pressure that can move wet paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product is water-based, making cleanup simple with water or a dedicated acrylic cleaner. For airbrush use, you may need to add a small amount of acrylic thinner if the paint appears too thick for your nozzle size. Always shake the bottle thoroughly before use to ensure the metallic pigments are evenly distributed. When storing, ensure the cap is tightened securely to prevent the paint from drying out, and keep the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve the pigment quality.
