About Vallejo 77108 Amethyst Purple:

Amethyst Purple is a radiant metallic highlight tone designed to brighten BASE colours in the purple–magenta spectrum. Its ultra-fine pigment enables smooth colour transitions, crisp edge highlights, and natural reflective points with excellent flow and minimal brush marks.

It is ideal for raised surfaces, magical armour plates, futuristic machinery, ornate detailing, and any metal areas requiring expressive, vibrant illumination.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses real metallic pigments to reproduce natural shine and reflective behaviour on miniature surfaces. Unlike NMM, TMM preserves the authentic metallic look while supporting traditional shading and highlighting techniques.

The system follows the BSL model (Base – Shade – Light):

• BASE: full-coverage metallic base colours.
• SHADE: satin-tone washes for shadowing.
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlight tones — including Amethyst Purple.
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready BASE equivalents.

This integrated system makes it possible to create convincing metallic depth, volume, and vivid reflections while maintaining the brilliance of genuine metal pigment.

Usage tips:

• Shake well before each use.
• Apply over BASE metallic purples or magentas for best results.
• Use fine brushes for edge highlights and reflective points.
• Thin with water or Vallejo acrylic thinner for smooth blending.
• For airbrush application: 0.3 mm needle, approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
