The True Metallic Metal (TMM) range from Vallejo is designed to deliver a genuine metal finish with precise brush control and can be thinned for airbrush use. Its high pigment load and ultra-fine metallic particles ensure even coverage, crisp reflections and excellent detail preservation—ideal for fantasy miniatures, vehicles and dioramas.

Main features:

• Real metallic finish: high metallic pigment content for a convincing, consistent shine.
• Ultra-fine particle size: won’t obscure details; perfect for panels, rivets and fine textures.
• Fast-drying, smooth coat: excellent self-levelling for clean transitions and sharp edges.
• Versatile for TMM techniques: ideal for basecoats, highlights, edge highlights and polished effects.
• 18 ml dropper bottle: precise dosing and improved long-term paint preservation.

Why choose True Metallic Metal:

If you’re aiming for realism and control, TMM provides a true metallic sheen without relying on NMM. Build from deep metallic bases to intense reflections and specular highlights with repeatable results across painting projects in sci-fi, historical and fantasy settings. Pair it with hobby accessories (detail brushes, wet palettes and varnishes) for a professional finish.

Usage recommendations:

• Shake thoroughly before use to fully disperse metallic particles.
• Prime the surface; for extra depth use a black or dark grey base. For bright violet candy effects, start from a light base.
• Apply thin coats and allow each layer to dry; create a polished look with targeted highlights using a fine brush.
• Thin slightly for airbrush or metallic glazes; shift toward magenta or cooler violet by mixing with inks/washes.
• Seal with varnish (matte, satin or gloss) to protect and control the final finish.

Give your projects a professional edge with Vallejo and the True Metallic Metal range. With Vallejo TMM Celestial Violet 77149 you’ll achieve a convincing metallic finish that enhances realism and surface detail on your miniatures and scale models.
