Gaahleri Kaleido RapidAir™ – Set of 12 Metallic Paints (Premium Water-Based Acrylic)

Discover a new level of spray painting with the Kaleido Colorworks RapidAir™ set. These are not ordinary acrylics – they are an advanced water-based paint system that delivers the visual effect of cellulose paints while ensuring complete safety and being odour-free. 12 precisely selected metallic shades will help you give ship models and figurines a realistic, professional look.

Why is RapidAir™ technology a game changer?

• Painting without compromise: Thanks to its innovative formula, the paint does not bead up or run off the surface. It settles into a smooth, mirror-like finish, eliminating the most common problems associated with water-based paints.
• High Gloss Effect (85GU): Kaleido paints offer a natural high-gloss finish that provides the perfect base for panel lining and decals. The surface is so smooth that it often doesn’t require a clear coat.
• Extreme adhesion: The special formula adheres to most surfaces (ABS, resin, metal, glass, wood) even without the use of a primer.
• Nano pigments: Ultra-fine pigment particles provide excellent coverage (even with light colors on a dark surface) and do not clog the airbrush, allowing you to paint the finest details.

Key benefits of the set:

• Ready to use (Pre-Thinned): The paints are factory-thinned. You can pour them straight into the airbrush cup (0.3 mm nozzles and larger).
• Safe for household members: Odorless, non-toxic, and eco-friendly formula (solvent-free). Ideal for use indoors without a professional extraction system.
• Durability and resilience: The coating is resistant to scratches, handling, and masking with modeling tape. Touch-dry in just 15–20 minutes.

Set contents:

The set includes 12 carefully selected metallic colors, including shades of steel, aluminum, gold, and copper—essential for painting cannons, fittings, ship’s bells, and decorative elements in ship model building.

Usage instructions:

1. Shake before use: Metallic pigments tend to settle, so shaking well will thoroughly mix the ingredients.
2. Pressure: The recommended operating pressure is 10–15 PSI.
3. Base coat: To achieve the maximum mirror effect, we recommend applying a high-gloss black base coat (Kaleido Gloss Black Primer).
