Forged Red Airbrush (77165) is an 18ml pre-thinned red metallic paint from Vallejo’s True Metallic Metal range, designed specifically for airbrush use. It matches the Forged Red Base tone but is optimized for smooth spraying, straight from the bottle with no thinning required.

The complete Forged Red color family includes:

• 77105 Forged Red (Light) – Metallic highlight for accents
• 77125 Forged Red (Base) – Deep red metallic basecoat
• 77145 Forged Red (Shade) – Satin non-metallic wash for shading
• 77165 Forged Red (Airbrush) – This airbrush-optimized version of the Base

This airbrush version is perfect for large surfaces, mechs, vehicles, terrain or smooth transitions on miniatures. The pigment is finely ground for consistent atomization and clog-free spraying even at lower pressure settings.

Combine this paint with the other tones in the BSL system: Base for coverage, Shade for contrast, Light for metallic shine, and Airbrush for quick coverage or gradients.

Key features:

• Airbrush-ready red metallic paint
• Color matched to Forged Red Base
• No thinning required – straight from the bottle
• Water-based, low odor, easy to clean

Tips for best results:

• Shake well before spraying to ensure even pigment distribution
• Use a 0.3mm or finer nozzle for best atomization
• Spray in thin layers at low pressure (around 1.2 bar or 17 psi)

If you're working on projects with red metallic details like infernal engines, fantasy vehicles, or steampunk panels, Forged Red Airbrush gives you smooth coverage, consistent tone and a polished result every time.
