Vallejo True Metallics - Base
Vallejo True Metallic Base paints provide strong foundational metallic colours for miniature painting, scale modelling, vehicles, Gunpla, terrain, and other hobby projects. Designed to establish the main metallic areas of a model, these colours are ideal for armour, weapons, machinery, engines, decorative trim, and other surfaces that need convincing steel, silver, gold, bronze, copper, or iron finishes.
If you're looking to buy Vallejo True Metallic Base paints in Canada, Tistaminis offers a selection of Vallejo metallic colours suitable for establishing solid base coats before adding shadows, highlights, washes, and weathering. Depending on availability, this collection may include steel, silver, aluminium, iron, gold, brass, bronze, copper, and other metallic tones from Vallejo's miniature and modelling paint ranges.
A strong metallic base coat provides the foundation for the entire True Metallic Metal painting process. Once established, painters can add darker washes and glazes to create shadows, brighter metallic colours for highlights, and pigments or weathering effects for worn surfaces. This makes Vallejo metallic base colours useful for everything from clean fantasy armour to heavily weathered historical vehicles.
1. What are Vallejo True Metallic Base paints?
True Metallic Base paints are metallic colours used to establish the primary metal tone on a miniature or model.
They contain reflective metallic pigments that create the appearance of real metal before additional shading and highlighting are applied.
2. What Vallejo metallic base colours are available?
Depending on the Vallejo range, available metallic colours may include steel, silver, aluminium, iron, gold, brass, bronze, copper, and other specialized metal tones.
Exact colours and ranges vary depending on current inventory.
3. What are metallic base paints used for?
Metallic base paints are ideal for establishing the main colour of armour, swords, guns, machinery, chains, vehicle components, jewellery, trim, and other metallic surfaces.
Once dry, the base colour can be shaded and highlighted to create additional depth.
4. What primer should I use under Vallejo metallic paints?
Black and other dark primers are popular beneath metallic paints because they provide strong contrast and help create deeper shadows.
Lighter undercoats can produce a brighter overall metallic appearance, while certain polished finishes can benefit from smoother or glossier undercoats.
5. Can Vallejo metallic base paints be brush painted?
Yes. Many Vallejo metallic paints can be applied with a traditional miniature paint brush.
Applying multiple controlled coats rather than one excessively thick layer can help preserve surface detail and produce a smoother metallic finish.
6. Can I shade Vallejo metallic base paints?
Yes. Metallic base coats can be shaded with washes, inks, glazes, or darker metallic colours to increase depth and definition.
Black, brown, blue, and other coloured shades can produce very different appearances depending on the type of metal you're trying to recreate.
7. How do I highlight a metallic base coat?
Use progressively brighter metallic colours on raised areas and edges where light would naturally reflect.
For example, darker steel can be highlighted with brighter silver or aluminium to create stronger contrast and a polished appearance.
8. What models are Vallejo True Metallic Base paints good for?
They are suitable for fantasy and science-fiction miniatures, historical models, tanks, aircraft, Gunpla, robots, vehicles, terrain, weapons, machinery, and display models.
The broad range of metallic tones makes them useful across almost every miniature and scale modelling genre.
9. Do you ship Vallejo metallic base 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.
10. Why buy Vallejo True Metallic Base paints from Tistaminis?

Whether you're establishing the steel armour of an entire army, painting gold trim, building a Gunpla, or weathering a historical vehicle, our Vallejo True Metallic Base collection makes it easier to find the metallic colours needed to start your project.
