About Vallejo 77137 Arcane Gold:

Arcane Gold blends classic golden warmth with a subtle cool tint, creating a striking, fantasy-ready metal tone. The ultra-fine pigment ensures smooth application, excellent coverage and crisp metallic reflections.

It pairs exceptionally well with SHADE washes for dramatic shadows and with LIGHT highlight tones to achieve bright, luxurious metallic accents. This makes it one of the most versatile and expressive golds in the BASE range.

About Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM):

True Metallic Metal (TMM) uses genuine metallic pigments to produce natural shine and realistic reflections. Unlike NMM, which simulates metal through painted contrast, TMM preserves true physical metallic behaviour while allowing traditional shading techniques.

The BSL workflow defines the system:

• BASE: strong-coverage metallic foundations — Arcane Gold is the key cool gold base.
• SHADE: satin washes deepening shadows and structure.
• LIGHT: bright highlight metallics for reflective accents.
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready BASE equivalents.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Works well over black or white primers.
• Brush: apply neat or lightly thinned.
• Airbrush: 0.3 mm needle at approx. 2 bar (29 psi).
• Perfect for fantasy-inspired, rich and arcane gold effects.
