Vallejo True Metallic Metal Starter Set

Discover a clear, guided and effective introduction to the Vallejo Base-Shade-Light system for metallic paints. Designed to help painters achieve convincing results from their first miniature, this starter set combines 12 carefully selected True Metallic Metal colours for brush application with an exclusive learning miniature, a high-quality brush and step-by-step instructions.

The coordinated selection makes it easy to build volume, light and contrast across four distinctive colour families. Each family includes a Base, Shade and Light colour, providing a structured route from the principal metallic tone through deeper shaded areas to brighter highlights.
