TMM LIGHT Dusken Green 18ml (114)

The acrylic paint Aged Metal is water-based and part of the BLS system.

Vallejo True Metallic Metal contains 80 acrylic paints, divided into 20 color families, specially developed for fantasy, historical, and sci-fi miniatures. It is a well-designed 4-step system: Base-Light-Shade-Airbrush, where each color is available in the respective variant. This allows metallic surfaces to be built up step by step: from the opaque base color (Base) to targeted highlights (Light) and realistic shadows (Shade) to the airbrush version for larger areas.

What is the True Metallic Metal Airbrush variant?
The Aged Metal Airbrush variant has been specially developed for use with an airbrush. It has a viscosity-optimized formulation and suitable surface tension, so it can be applied directly from the nozzle in the same color as the Base variant.

Do I need prior knowledge for True Metallic Metal Airbrush paint?
If you are working with an airbrush, you should know the basics of pressure, nozzle diameter, and spraying technique. The True Metallic Metal Airbrush variant is optimally tailored for this application, so it can be efficiently sprayed directly from the bottle without the need for heavy thinning or adjustments. It is perfect for quickly priming large areas or achieving smooth blending effects, thus ideally complementing the Base variant.

For airbrush application, Vallejo recommends a setting of about 15-20 PSI (0.5-1 kg) and, if necessary, the use of Airbrush Thinner for thinner coats.

Application tips
Use the airbrush paint for large metallic areas, backgrounds, or quick priming.
Gloss transitions or glazes can also be achieved with an airbrush in the same tone.
Remember to choose the appropriate nozzle and air pressure (e.g., lower pressure for control).
If necessary, the airbrush paint can also be slightly thinned to create softer transitions or glazes, as long as the color tone is maintained.
