Below, you'll find a breakdown of GSW's most popular paint ranges, with guidance from our team to help you get the most out of every drop.

Acrylic Colour Series – Your All-Purpose Hobby Paint

Green Stuff World’s standard acrylics are water-based, non-toxic, and perfect for both brush and airbrush work. These paints have a smooth matte finish, dry quickly, and offer excellent coverage. Ideal for everything from basecoating infantry to highlighting terrain features.

Recommended for: Beginners to advanced painters, general use
Best surfaces: Plastic, resin, foam, MDF, metal

🔬 Maxx Formula Acrylics – Ultra-Smooth Pigment Technology

Maxx Formula paints deliver extra-rich pigmentation with buttery-smooth flow, ideal for those who want professional-level results. They offer higher opacity and longer working times, making them perfect for layering and wet blending.

Recommended for: Advanced miniature painters
Best surfaces: Miniatures, vehicle panels, scale kits

⚙️ Metallic Paints – Realistic Metal Finishes

These metallics contain fine aluminium flakes for a realistic metal shine and durable finish. From rusty bronze to bright steel, the range works beautifully for weapons, trims, and mechs.

Pro tip: Apply over a gloss black base for extra vibrancy
Best for: Fantasy/sci-fi miniatures, mechs, gun barrels, vehicle detailing

Fluorescent Paints (Fluor) – Electric, Eye-Catching Colour

Fluor paints are semi-translucent, intensely bright colours designed for dramatic effects like energy weapons, plasma coils, lava, or sci-fi lighting. Best built up in layers or used over a white base.

Recommended for: Creative painters, special effects
Use with: OSL (object source lighting), LEDs, contrast bases

Chameleon & Colour Shift Paints – Futuristic Finish

GSW’s colour shift paints change hue depending on your viewing angle. When sprayed through an airbrush, they create an iridescent finish that adds dynamic light effects to armour plates, helmets, or fantasy wings.

Best applied with: Airbrush over gloss black primer
Perfect for: Sci-fi miniatures, car bodies, tech/fantasy conversions

Dipping Inks & Colour Filters – Fast Shading Made Easy

Dipping inks act like contrast paints—applying colour and shade in one coat. Filters subtly tint your basecoat and are ideal for weathering or setting a tonal mood. Perfect for batch painting armies or adding grime to terrain.

Ideal for: Quick shading, army painting, terrain basecoats
Works best over: Light or mid-tone base colours
