About Vallejo 77119 Aged Metal:

Aged Metal is a subtle, cool metallic highlight tone crafted to brighten BASE colours within the steel–iron–silver–oxidized metal spectrum. Its ultra-fine pigment enables smooth highlights, crisp edge accents, and natural reflective points appropriate for both realistic and stylized miniature painting.

It is perfect for armour panels, mechanical parts, historical weapons, engines, industrial structures, and any metal surface requiring an authentic aged shine.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses genuine metallic pigments to deliver natural shine and reflective qualities while supporting traditional shading and highlighting techniques for depth and volume. Unlike NMM, TMM retains an authentic metallic appearance.

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

• BASE: high-coverage metallic base tones.
• SHADE: satin washes for deepening shadows.
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlight shades — including Aged Metal.
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready metallic base equivalents.

This system enables painters to build convincing metallic surfaces with depth, natural reflections, and expressive highlights while preserving the brilliance of true metal pigment.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Apply over BASE metallic steel, iron, silver, and oxidized tones.
• Use fine brushes for precise reflective accents.
• Thin with water or Vallejo acrylic thinner for smooth blends.
• Airbrush: 0.3 mm needle, approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
