The Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0: Brazen Copper

One Coat. Instant Depth. Ready to Game.

Brazen Copper is a warm, rich metallic Speedpaint — part of The Army Painter's Speedpaint 2.0 range, and one of the most satisfying colours in the line to work with. Flow it over a primed model and watch it settle into recesses, define edges, and deliver a fully shaded metallic finish in a single pass. No separate wash step. No layering required unless you want to push it further. The 2.0 formula has been refined from the original to reduce reactivation — meaning subsequent coats and varnishing behave more predictably than the first generation.

Brazen Copper earns its place on any painter's desk. It reads as a mid-tone antique copper — darker and more characterful than bright gold metallics, warmer than silver or steel. It works brilliantly on mechanical details, armour trim, pipes, buttons, weapons, and decorative embellishments across any miniature. Speed-paint an entire squad's metallic details in minutes, or use it as a strong base for further highlighting with a lighter copper or gold layer paint.

Who Should Pick This Up

Speedpaint 2.0 metallics are a genuine shortcut for every level of painter. New hobbyists will love how much a single coat achieves — a fully shaded metallic finish without needing to understand washing or layering technique first. Experienced painters keep metallics like this in rotation for batch painting, blocked-in base work, or speed-finishing rank-and-file models before saving careful brushwork for centrepiece miniatures. The 18ml pot delivers solid coverage and goes a long way when applied over a light or white-toned primer.
