Ultracryl Metal Set – Precision Meets Radiant Metallic Shine
The Ultracryl Metal Set is powered by cutting-edge Zenexo® pigments from Schlenk – known as VMP® (Vacuum Metallized Pigments). These are created through a specialized vacuum metallization process, in which ultra-thin layers of aluminum are deposited onto pigment particles. The result:
- Exceptional color brilliance
- Increased durability
- Reliable protection against oxidation
Compared to conventional mica-based or metallic pigments, Zenexo® pigments offer a smoother, more uniform metallic finish, with higher light reflectivity and rich color depth – delivering a brilliance that lasts.
Thanks to these advanced pigments, Ultracryl Metallic Colors provide incredibly smooth application, strong visual impact, and high versatility. Their excellent coverage means most colors deliver a fully opaque result in just a single coat – even over dark surfaces.
A standout in the set is our Chrome, which produces a strikingly realistic chrome effect – especially when airbrushed, it lays down ultra-smooth and delivers a high-gloss, mirror-like finish that truly impresses.
When combined with transparent or semi-transparent Ultracryl colors, you can create a wide range of custom tinted metallics – from subtle undertones to vibrant special effects.
Because Ultracryl Metallics are completely water-based and alcohol-free, they offer:
- Full compatibility with all Ultracryl paints
- Smooth handling with brush or airbrush
- And while the metallic pigments naturally settle over time (as with any high-quality formula), they do not form a hard residue and can be easily re-mixed with a quick shake, without clumping or binding
The result: Intense, brilliant metallic effects with outstanding coverage – perfect for miniature painters, scale modelers, and creative professionals working at the highest level.
