Amsterdam Metallic Acrylic Paint Set — 6 x 18 ml, Water-Based Fast-Drying Multi-Surface

Amsterdam Standard Series Metallic Acrylic Paint Set is a six-tube collection of water-based, 0.6 fl oz metallic colours formulated for flexible, fast-drying multi-surface painting.

Bring shimmering accents and durable colour to your projects with this compact metallic set from Amsterdam. Each tube contains a concentrated acrylic formula made with 100% acrylic resin binder and lightfast pigments, offering a satin-leaning sheen and consistent gloss when dry. The set includes six distinct metallic shades (800, 802, 803, 805, 811, 840), sized for trial work, small murals, mixed-media pieces, or decorative touch-ups around the studio or home.

How do these metallic paints perform on different surfaces?

Amsterdam metallic acrylics are water-based and engineered to adhere to a wide variety of supports. They bond well to canvas, paper, cardboard, wood, stone, cement and prepared walls, making them suitable for both indoor projects and sheltered outdoor applications.

• Works on porous and sealed surfaces — prepare smooth substrates with a primer for best adhesion.
• Flexible paint film reduces cracking on rigid supports when applied in moderate layers.
• Alkali resistance makes them compatible with mortar or concrete walls used in murals.

How quickly do these acrylics dry and can they be thinned or mixed?

These tubes dry relatively fast—thin layers set in about 30 minutes—while thicker applications will take longer. The paint is water-thinnable for glazing and blending; you can also mix different metallic shades or combine with other Amsterdam acrylics to achieve custom effects.

• Thin with water for washes, transparent glazes, or softer edges.
• Mix colours directly on palette or surface to control metallic intensity.
• Apply thicker layers for more pronounced texture, but allow extra drying time.

What finish and longevity can I expect from the Standard Series metallics?

When dry, the paints form a uniform, slightly satin film with visible metallic reflections rather than high-gloss chrome. Pigments are chosen for dependable colour permanence; for display or outdoor longevity, sealing with an appropriate varnish is recommended.

• Satin/soft-gloss metallic sheen—subtle reflection ideal for highlights and detailing.
• Lightfast pigments for good colour stability under normal display conditions.
• Topcoat with varnish for added UV and moisture protection on exposed work.

Who is this set for? Artists, hobbyists, and decorative painters who want a compact sampler of metallic effects will appreciate this Amsterdam set. It’s especially useful for anyone experimenting with metallic accents in mixed media, creating small illustrations, or adding decorative highlights to crafts, furniture, and murals. Because the tubes are 0.6 fl oz each, the set is also convenient for travel, workshops, and classroom use—offering professional-quality acrylic behavior in a size that encourages exploration. Backed by Royal Talens’ long history of art materials, these paints are a practical choice when you need consistent handling, reliable adhesion, and a portable range of metallic hues.
