View full detailsVallejo True Metallic Paints
Vallejo True Metallic paints are designed for miniature painters and scale modellers who want convincing metal finishes with the speed and versatility of acrylic paint. From steel and silver to gold, brass, bronze, copper, and darker metallic tones, Vallejo metallic colours can be used to create everything from polished armour and weapons to worn machinery and weathered historical equipment.
If you're looking to buy Vallejo metallic paints in Canada, Tistaminis offers a selection of Vallejo metallic colours for miniatures, vehicles, terrain, Gunpla, historical models, and other hobby projects. Depending on availability, this collection may include metallic paints from Vallejo's Model Color, Game Color, Metal Color, and other specialist paint ranges.
True metallic painting uses paints containing reflective metallic pigments to simulate the appearance of real metal. By combining different metallic shades with washes, highlights, glazes, and weathering effects, painters can create anything from bright polished steel and gold to dark iron, aged bronze, heat-stained exhausts, and battle-worn armour.
1. What are true metallic paints?
True metallic paints use reflective metallic pigments to create the appearance of metal directly on a miniature or model.
This technique is commonly called True Metallic Metal, or TMM, and differs from Non-Metallic Metal techniques that simulate reflective metal using ordinary non-metallic colours.
2. What Vallejo metallic colours are available?
Vallejo produces a wide range of metallic colours, including variations of silver, steel, aluminium, iron, gold, brass, bronze, copper, and other metallic finishes.
Exact colours and paint ranges available depend on current inventory.
3. Which Vallejo ranges contain metallic paints?
Metallic colours can be found across several Vallejo ranges, including Model Color, Game Color, Metal Color, and other specialized hobby paint lines.
Different ranges may vary in consistency, finish, pigmentation, and intended application.
4. Are Vallejo metallic paints good for miniatures?
Yes. Vallejo metallic paints are widely used for weapons, armour, machinery, jewellery, vehicle components, mechanical details, and other metallic surfaces.
They can be used on fantasy, science-fiction, historical, Gunpla, and scale modelling projects.
5. Can Vallejo metallic paints be applied with a brush?
Yes. Many Vallejo metallic paints are suitable for traditional brush painting and can be layered to create highlights, shadows, and different metal finishes.
Always check the specific Vallejo range because paint consistency can vary between products.
6. Can Vallejo metallic paints be airbrushed?
Many Vallejo metallic paints can be applied with an airbrush, although some products may require thinning while others are formulated specifically for smooth airbrush application.
Check the individual product instructions and adjust air pressure and thinning as needed.
7. How do I make metallic paint look more realistic?
Start with darker metallic colours in recessed areas and gradually highlight raised surfaces with brighter metallic shades.
Washes, glazes, edge highlights, pigments, rust effects, and weathering products can then be used to create additional depth and realistic wear.
8. What is the difference between True Metallic Metal and Non-Metallic Metal?
True Metallic Metal uses paints containing reflective metallic pigments, while Non-Metallic Metal uses ordinary colours and carefully painted highlights and shadows to imitate the appearance of reflective metal.
TMM is generally faster and more approachable, while NMM relies heavily on controlled placement of light and shadow.
9. Do you ship Vallejo metallic paints across Canada?
Yes. We ship Vallejo paints and other miniature painting supplies throughout Canada, subject to any applicable shipping restrictions.
Shipping options and rates are available during checkout.
