Overview of Mr.Hobby GSI-H8 Silver Gloss

Mr.Hobby GSI-H8 is a 10ml silver gloss acrylic from the Gunze Aqueous Hobby Color line, offering controllable coverage for scale work. It is popular among hobbyists who need a bright metallic finish with simple handling.

Where to Use This Paint

The silver gloss performs well on plastic kits, diecast parts and miniature components, producing a reflective surface when applied correctly. Because it is water based, it thins and cleans easily and keeps fumes to a minimum in small workspaces.

Practical Application Hints

  • Give the bottle a vigorous shake to reincorporate settled pigment before use.
  • Build the finish with multiple thin layers rather than one heavy coat.
  • Choose a fine-tip brush for small details or thin for airbrush application as needed.
It adheres to metal but surface prep like degreasing and light sanding helps ensure better contact and durability.
Silver is reflective rather than opaque, so using a neutral primer or light base coat will improve the final tone and reduce the number of coats required.
You can blend it with other water-based acrylics, but test compatibility and drying behaviour before committing to a full paint job.
Keep the cap sealed tightly and store upright in a cool, dry place to prevent skinning and extend shelf life.
