Ammo Real Heavy Metal Burnished Metal Set

Create a burnished metal finish in three clear stages with the Ammo IONIC Real Heavy Metal Set. Designed for miniatures, wargaming figures and scale models, this coordinated acrylic system combines Base, Metallic Wash and Highlight colours for shine, reflective depth and smooth transitions.

Each colour is supplied in a 20 ml bottle and formulated for a specific stage of the process. Follow the Base, Wash and Highlight sequence without complex blending or mixing. The intuitive system supports beginners seeking straightforward results as well as experienced painters looking for control and reliable performance.

Three-Step Burnished Metal System

1. Burnished Metal Base: A high-coverage, fast-drying formula designed to cover in a single coat and establish an authentic metallic shine from the first layer.
2. Burnished Metal Metallic Wash: A true metallic ink that flows into recesses, enhancing panel lines, armour joints and recessed details while adding depth and preserving reflectivity.
3. Burnished Metal Highlight: A calibrated highlight with ultra-fine metallic pigment, designed to brighten the base tone without harsh transitions while supporting smooth blending and natural reflections.

The three coordinated tones provide a clear route from the initial metallic layer through controlled shading to focused highlights. This helps avoid patchy shine, muddy mixtures and abrupt changes between light and shadow.

Smooth and Durable Acrylic Colour

These model paints offer exceptional coverage and self-levelling performance with no visible brush marks. Their ultra-fine metallic pigment produces a consistent true metallic finish, while the durable surface resists enamels, oils and weathering effects without lifting.

The paints perform by both brush and airbrush. Once dry, they do not reactivate with water and can be blended with other IONIC acrylics to create cool, warm, aged, oxidised or customised metallic effects.
