True Metallic Metal Set - Ruby Red

Vallejo True Metallic Metal – Ruby Red

A set of true metallic paints from the True Metallic Metal range by Vallejo in a deep ruby red shade. These are water-thinnable acrylics with real metal pigments that create a realistic bright metal surface. The set contains four matched shades for the light – base – shadow sequence (the BSL system) plus a version for the airbrush, so contrast and highlights can be built up with metallic paints alone. The cool, intense metallic red suits armor, magical weapons, futuristic elements and striking details.

Use

• Thinned with water or an acrylic thinner; do not mix them with enamel or lacquer paints.
• They look best on a smooth, matte-primed surface – a dark base works well.
• Build the highlight up from shadow through base to light; thin the airbrush version appropriately.
• The pigment settles to the bottom – shake the bottle thoroughly before use and during work.
• Apply metallic paints toward the end, as they are harder to overspray and to mask.

Who the set is for

For figure painters and modelers who want a striking metallic red metal with full contrast and highlights.

Keep the paints out of the reach of children and work in a well-ventilated space.
