One Coat. Shaded. Ready for the Table.
Golden Armour is a warm, rich metallic gold in The Army Painter's Speedpaint 2.0 formula — a single-coat paint that lays down colour, shading, and depth all at once. Apply it over a white or light grey primer and it flows into recesses, leaving brighter tones on raised surfaces and natural shadow in crevices, without any additional washes or layering required. The result is a convincing, battle-ready finish in a fraction of the time a traditional multi-step approach would take.
Speedpaint 2.0 improves on the original formula with better reactivation resistance — meaning the paint is less prone to lifting when you apply a second coat or paint other colours on top. Golden Armour suits any armoured surface where you want a quick, convincing metallic gold: pauldrons, trim, shields, helmets, icons, and ornamental details across any miniature range. It pairs naturally with a strong contrast colour for cloaks or bases, making it a go-to choice for batch-painting large units to a consistent tabletop standard.
Who It's For
New painters will find Speedpaint 2.0 one of the easiest ways to get models looking good fast — prime, apply Golden Armour to gold areas, let it dry, and you already have a shaded metallic finish that would otherwise take multiple steps. Experienced painters use it as a speed layer for batch work, saving the detail time for focal points and faces. Gold is one of the most versatile and frequently used metallics in miniature painting across fantasy and sci-fi ranges alike, making this a genuinely practical addition to any hobby palette.
