Flexible metallic paints are designed to maintain adhesion and durability even when the painted surface is bent, stretched, or moved. Unlike standard acrylic paints, which can crack or flake under stress, they incorporate special additives that provide controlled flexibility. The Green Stuff World formulation is free from latex and vinyl, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and making it suitable for cosplay and advanced modelling materials such as EVA foam, fabric, leather, 3D prints, and latex.
As with all metallic paints, the visual result is significantly enhanced when applied over a dark base, ideally black. This improves metallic depth, boosts pigment richness, and increases overall contrast. For best results, the use of a flexible black primer is recommended, especially for projects requiring a smooth, impactful metallic finish. Proper surface preparation is essential, including cleaning, light sanding if needed, and applying a suitable primer to ensure strong adhesion.
Application should always be done in thin layers to preserve the flexibility of the paint film. The first coat should be very light, with subsequent layers applied while the previous one is still slightly tacky to improve bonding. Full curing is essential, with a recommended drying time of at least 24 hours, or longer depending on layer thickness. Airbrush or spray application is preferred to achieve ultra-thin, even coats and reduce the risk of peeling. Dilution with water or a dedicated acrylic thinner is recommended for optimal results.
The satin finish provides a balanced effect between matte and gloss, offering a subtle reflectivity that enhances detail without overemphasis. This finish is particularly well suited for flexible parts as it resists dirt, handles frequent manipulation, and is easy to clean. Contents: 1 x 240 ml bottle. Warning: these are flexible paints, not elastic ones, and may crack if overstretched. Not recommended on smooth or non-porous surfaces without appropriate priming.
