AK Interactive Quickgen Gold (AK17065) is a warm and radiant metallic tone created for miniature painters, model builders and board game hobbyists who want elegant gold accents with minimal effort. The Quickgen metallic formula uses special pigments that naturally settle into recesses, producing deep, layered reflections in a single coat. This makes Gold an excellent choice for armour details, ornaments, weapon trims, banners and all decorative elements that deserve a luxurious finish.
Within the Quickgen Metallic Range, Gold plays an essential role. The series is known for its unique pigment behaviour: the metallic particles accumulate in the cavities, automatically generating contrast and depth. Many painters particularly enjoy this effect because it gives a professional appearance without the need for multi-layer metallic blending. Gold is especially effective for fantasy miniatures, steampunk creations and historical pieces where rich metal tones are part of the visual identity.
Features & Benefits
Technical Details
Applications & Examples
Gold is extremely versatile. Its rich pigmentation makes it ideal for ornate decorations such as medallions, armour plates, regal markings or mechanical embellishments. Because it settles naturally into details, Gold creates organic shading that enhances sculpted textures. Many painters also mix it with Bronze, Old Gold or Copper to create custom metallic tones or to push highlights and shadows in different directions.
In fantasy tabletop games, Gold is one of the most frequently used metallics—perfect for paladins, dwarven craftsmanship, elven ornaments and magical artefacts. For historical wargamers, the colour excels on buckles, helmet trim, insignia and ceremonial details. A quick drybrush technique can even create ancient or weathered gold effects suitable for statues, ruins and environmental storytelling elements.
