Ammo
Ionic Drybrush Gun Metal
This Ionic Drybrush Gun Metal from Ammo is a high-quality acrylic paint developed specifically for drybrushing techniques. It delivers smooth coverage with a metallic finish, making it suitable for enhancing edges and raised details with realistic metal effects. As part of the Ionic Smart Drybrush range, it is ready to use straight from the jar.
The gun metal tone is particularly effective for replicating darker metallic surfaces such as machinery, weapons, and worn components. It can be applied over darker or mid-tone bases to build up highlights and create depth, helping to define surface detail without overpowering the underlying colour. The paint’s consistency allows for controlled application, ensuring that highlights remain subtle and precise.
Application follows standard drybrushing methods. A small amount of paint is loaded onto a brush, with excess removed on an absorbent surface before lightly brushing across raised details. This allows the metallic pigment to catch on edges and textures, producing consistent and natural-looking results.

Drybrushing is a widely used technique in modelling, particularly for emphasising surface detail and creating worn finishes. Metallic shades such as gun metal are especially useful for simulating darker steel and iron components. By applying small amounts of paint to raised areas, modellers can quickly create realistic highlights and depth. This product provides a practical way to achieve those effects, offering consistent results across a wide range of modelling projects.
