77.119 - Vallejo True Metalic Metal Light - Aged Metal - 18 ML

True Metallic Metal (TMM) is a painting technique that aims to represent realistic metallic surfaces using paints with actual metallic pigment—rather than simulating metal with flat colours, as in Non-Metallic Metal (NMM).

TMM achieves natural reflections and visually striking results with less painterly artifice, preserving the material richness of metal in miniature form.

But painting with TMM requires more than just metallic paint. It involves applying traditional principles of light, shadow, and volume—working with blends, transitions, and contrast as you would with any non-metallic surface.

Through a clear and consistent approach based on the BSL model (Base – Shade – Light), you can paint metallic surfaces with volume, atmosphere, and clear light definition—without giving up the authentic shine of real metal.

Colours designed to brighten the Base tones. These are lighter, more luminous versions of the 20 Base colours and can be blended in different ratios to achieve intermediate highlights. Their fine finish allows for seamless transitions and smooth colour gradients.

How to use: Apply with a brush. 

Safety: Always follow the information on the product label. Contains 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one, reaction mass of 5-chloro- 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one and 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (3:1). May produce an allergic reaction.

Packaging: They are presented in bottles of 18 ml/0.6 fl oz with an eyedropper. This packaging prevents the paint from evaporating and drying in the container, so that it can be used in minimal quantities and preserved for a long time.
