All True Metallic paints come in 18ml dropper bottles that preserve paint freshness and enable precise dispensing for mixing custom shades. The formulations work seamlessly with Vallejo Primers and integrate perfectly with other Vallejo Weathering FX, Vallejo Pigment FX, and Vallejo Diorama FX products for complete finishing solutions. Whether airbrushing large surfaces or hand-painting fine details, True Metallic paints maintain consistent viscosity and coverage. The genuine metal pigments create finishes that respond naturally to light, producing authentic metallic appearances that traditional paints cannot match. These paints pair excellently with Vallejo Liquid Metal for extreme chrome effects and paint accessories for optimal application.
Vallejo has established itself as a premier manufacturer of acrylic paints for modeling and miniatures, consistently developing innovative formulations that meet professional standards. The True Metallic range exemplifies this commitment, offering modelers authentic metal finishes without the toxicity and handling challenges of solvent-based metallic paints.
