Vallejo TMM 77162 Radiant Yellow (Airbrush)

Enhance the true metallic shine on your miniatures with Vallejo TMM Radiant Yellow 77162.

Radiant Yellow (77162) is a luminous metallic yellow with a golden cast, perfect for insignia, trims, filigree and lacquered panels. With Vallejo TMM Radiant Yellow 77162 you can create yellow–gold anodized finishes, warm candy effects and crisp specular highlights over deeper golds, bronze and brass—defining edges and curves without obscuring detail.

The True Metallic Metal (TMM) range from Vallejo is designed to deliver a genuine metal finish with precise brush control and optional thinning for airbrush use. Its high metallic pigment load and ultra-fine 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 the metallic particles.
• Prime the surface; for extra depth use a black or dark grey base. For bright warm “candy” tones, 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; nudge the hue toward gold or amber 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 Radiant Yellow 77162 you’ll achieve a convincing metallic finish that enhances realism and surface detail on your miniatures and scale models.
