Vallejo True Metallic Metal Core Set

Create rich metallic finishes with a structured selection of 60 colours developed exclusively for brush application. The Vallejo True Metallic Metal Special Box Core Set uses the BSL system – Base, Shade and Light – to make building depth, contrast and definition clear and intuitive. It is an ideal choice for painters who primarily work with a brush, as well as workspaces where airbrush use is not possible.

The set contains 60 x 18 ml colours divided evenly between 20 Base paints, 20 Shade washes and 20 Light paints. Each stage has a distinct role, helping you progress from smooth initial coverage through controlled shading to bright highlights and points of light.

A complete Base-Shade-Light system

The 20 Base colours are high-coverage metallic paints formulated with ultrafine metallic particles for an in-scale shine. Their self-levelling formulation produces a smooth, even basecoat without visible brushstrokes.

The 20 Shade colours are non-metallic satin washes. Their controlled flow supports glazing, volume definition and atmospheric effects, creating deep shadows without dulling the metallic finish.

The 20 Light colours are brighter metallic versions of the base tones. Use them to enhance raised volumes, sharpen edges and define points of light.

Twenty coordinated colour families

Each BSL stage covers the same broad selection of tones: Sterling Silver, Radiant Yellow, Imperial Gold, Ancient Copper, Forged Red, Ruby Red, Crimson Magenta, Amethyst Purple, Celestial Violet, Ultramarine Blue, Sapphire Blue, Hydra Turquoise, Beetle Green, Dusken Green, Amber Green, Greenish Gold, Arcane Gold, Rusty Metal, Aged Metal and Obsidian Black.

This coordinated range provides metallic reds, blues, greens, purples, golds, silvers and weathered metal tones within one functional system. Matching Base, Shade and Light options help maintain colour harmony while adding convincing depth and definition.
