True Metallic Metal | Vallejo

True Metallic Metal Paints | Vallejo Metallics for Scale Modeling

Vallejo True Metallic Metal paints reproduce the authentic shine of metal thanks to high-quality metallic pigments. Ideal for miniatures, vehicles, or fantasy pieces where a realistic finish is desired, with natural reflections and smooth, even coverage. Compatible with both brush and airbrush application.

How to Get the Most Out of the Metallic Effect

• Apply a base coat of primer to improve adhesion and enhance the metallic shine.
• Combine different metallic tones (steel, gold, copper, or bronze) to create contrast and depth.
• Use washes and inks to shade and reinforce depth.

Complement Your Work with Auxiliary Products

Control flow, drying time, and finish with Vallejo auxiliary products. Find thinner, retarder, varnishes, and cleaners to achieve a professional result and protect your metallic finishes.

Recommended Accessories

• Detail brushes for highlights and metallic reflections.
• Airbrushes and compressors for applying thin and even coats.
• Masking tapes for precise lines between metallic and matte colors.
• Sanding tools and putties to prepare the surface before painting.

Tips for Applying True Metallic Metal

1. Prepare the surface with a grey or black primer to maximize the shine.
2. Shake the bottle well before use to distribute the metallic pigments evenly.
3. Apply several thin layers instead of one thick coat to maintain an even reflection.
4. Allow to dry and protect the finish with Vallejo acrylic varnish.
