About SHADE colours in the True Metallic Metal system:

SHADE washes form an integral part of the BSL (Base – Shade – Light) workflow:

• BASE: metallic foundation paints
• SHADE: satin washes — such as Hydra Turquoise Shade
• LIGHT: bright metallic highlights
• AIRBRUSH: airbrush-ready BASE variants

They deepen contrast and refine definition without dulling the characteristic shimmer of metallic paints.

Usage tips:

• Shake thoroughly before use.
• Apply over completely dry BASE or LIGHT layers.
• Brush: apply neat or thin with water.
• Airbrush: ready to spray straight from the bottle.
• Ideal for shading cool turquoise metallic effects.
