The True Metallic Metal (TMM) system:

TMM is an advanced metallic painting method using real metallic pigments combined with structured light–shadow techniques. Each colour family contains four coordinated paints:

• LIGHT – metallic highlights
• AIRBRUSH – airbrush-optimised basecoat

Ideal applications:

• fantasy and sci-fi armour,
• mechanical and industrial parts,
• tech components and panels,
• decorative details requiring bright metallic reflection,
• any miniature needing crisp, luminous silver.

Usage tips:

• Use BASE as the main metallic coat.
