About Vallejo 77117 Arcane Gold:

Arcane Gold is a vivid metallic highlight tone designed to brighten BASE colours in the gold–warm–yellow metallic spectrum. With its ultra-fine pigment, it produces smooth blends, precise edge highlights, and brilliant reflective points without visible brush marks.

It excels on fantasy armour trim, ornate decorations, magical artefacts, sci-fi structures, and any metal requiring a noble, radiant finishing touch.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses real metallic pigments to achieve natural shine and convincing reflective behaviour. Unlike NMM, TMM maintains authentic metallic appearance while letting painters apply traditional shading and highlighting principles.

The range follows the BSL structure (Base – Shade – Light):

• BASE: high-coverage metallic base colours.
• SHADE: satin washes to deepen shadows.
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlight tones — including Arcane Gold.
• AIRBRUSH: BASE equivalents formulated for airbrush use.

This system enables painters to produce realistic metallic depth, radiant reflections, and controlled volume while preserving the brilliance of true metal pigment.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Apply over BASE metallic golds or warm tones.
• Use fine brushes for edge highlights and reflective accents.
• Thin with water or Vallejo acrylic thinner for smooth blending.
• For airbrush: 0.3 mm needle, approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
