Real Heavy Metal Antique Gold Base from Ionic Smart Colours is the optimal choice for creating a timeless patinated and cohesive metallic finish with tones of aged gold. As the first step in Ionic's innovative 3-step system this colour forms the dominant metal layer for everything from ancient relics to heavy classic armour.

Patinated gold finish with mica pigment
Antique Gold Base is designed to mimic the heavy saturated lustre of aged gold. Thanks to the natural mica pigments the paint has an extremely homogeneous coverage with a lustre that feels both massive and genuine. The system guides you methodically through the painting and provides a stable reflective base that is optimised for further work with washes and highlights.

Features & Benefits:

• High coverage (IONIC-0816): The dense pigmentation ensures an even finish that covers effectively from the first coat without hiding the finest details.
• Natural mica pigments: Ensures a fine-grained surface without lumps giving a more realistic metallic finish on small-scale models.
• Smart Packaging: Comes in a convenient 20ml bottle with a smooth opening mechanism that can be operated with one hand for easy dosing at the palette.
• Technical versatility: Water-based acrylic formula that works great for both brush and airbrush as well as techniques such as dry brushing and edge highlighting.
