The Vallejo True Metallic Paint Set - Ruby Red is designed for hobbyists, scale modelers, and miniature painters who want to achieve professional-grade metallic finishes on armor, weaponry, or sci-fi elements. This four-tone set leverages the BSL (Base, Shade, Light) system to help users master complex lighting and reflection effects with ease, though it requires a steady hand and proper brush or airbrush control to maximize the metallic sheen.

Yes, these are acrylic-based and are compatible with other Vallejo Model Color or Game Color ranges.
While durable, applying a thin coat of matte or gloss varnish can help protect the metallic finish from long-term wear.
Yes, they are water-based acrylics, making them easy to clean up with water or standard acrylic cleaners.
The set includes four 18 ml bottles: Light, Base, Shade, and Airbrush tones.
Yes, they can be applied to most surfaces including plastic, resin, and metal, provided the surface is properly primed.
Ensure the surface is primed smoothly and that you have shaken the paint bottle thoroughly to distribute the metal flakes.
Verify the paint is properly thinned for your nozzle size and use a cleaning solution to clear the needle and nozzle tip.
Add a stainless steel mixing ball to the bottle and shake well before every use.
To ensure the best results, always shake the bottles vigorously for at least 30 seconds before use to ensure the metallic pigments are properly suspended. When airbrushing, consider using a thinner if you find the paint density is too high for your specific nozzle size. Always clean your brushes and airbrush immediately after use with an appropriate acrylic cleaner, as dried metallic pigments can be difficult to remove. Store your paints in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain pigment integrity.
