TMM PAINT SET Ancient Copper

4 True Metallic Metal colors of one color family
Each set contains the complete color family for an exact BLS color gradient:
BASE (metallic) + LIGHT (metallic) + SHADE (shade) + AIRBRUSH (Airbrush).

What is True Metallic Metal?
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-thought-out 4-step system, Base-Light-Shade-Airbrush, where each color is available in its 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) up to the Airbrush version for larger areas.
The acrylic paint Aged Metal is water-based and part of the BLS system.

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

Do I need prior knowledge for True Metallic Metal Airbrush paint?
When working with an airbrush, you should know the basics of pressure, nozzle diameter, and spraying technique. The Airbrush variant of True Metallic Metal is optimally matched to this application, so it can be efficiently sprayed directly from the bottle without needing strong dilution 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 approx. 15-20 PSI (0.5-1 kg) and, if necessary, using Airbrush Thinner for thinner layers.

Tips for application
Use the airbrush paint for large metallic areas, undercoats, 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., low pressure for control).
If necessary, the airbrush paint can also be slightly diluted to create softer transitions or glazes, as long as the color tone is maintained.
