These colors—including deep iron, dark steel, shadowed bronze, tarnished copper, and near-black metallic blends—provide the foundation of realistic Non-Metallic-Metal (NMM-style metallic) transitions. Shade Tones enhance definition, create contrast, and anchor a model’s metal surfaces with stronger visual weight. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeal for weapons, war machines, knights, mechs, steampunk machinery, historical armor, and sci-fi plating, these darker tones help painters reinforce recesses, simulate grime and patina, and build natural light-to-dark gradients. Vallejo Shade Metallics offer smooth coverage, ultra-fine metallic flakes, and excellent brush or airbrush performance, making them the perfect starting point for layered metallic work. Whether you’re aiming for dramatic depth, subtle shadowing, or advanced high-contrast armor finishes, Shade Tones create the crucial groundwork for showpiece-quality metallic effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"accordion-item\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e1.

With a satin finish, that preserves the shine of the underlying Base layer, the washes are a darker, non-metallic version of the 20 Base tones. Their rich pigmentation and controlled flow enable subtle shading in mid-tones and strong definition in recessed areas. They can be diluted with water to create gradient effects in the shadows and the colors are fully mixable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Paint Bottle with Eyedropper (18ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne True Metallic Metal: Shade - Rusty Metal - 18ml is supplied.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PM Hansen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52838581731635,"sku":"VAL77158","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0022\/6158\/1926\/files\/VAL77158.avif?v=1765713302"},{"product_id":"vallejo-true-metallic-aged-metal-shade","title":"Vallejo True Metallic Aged Metal Shade","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVallejo True Metallic Aged Metal Shade\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue Metallic Metal (TMM) is a painting technique that aims to represent realistic metallic surfaces using paints with actual metallic pigment - rather than simulating metal with flat colors, as in Non Metallic Metal (NMM).\u003cbr\u003eTMM achieves natural reflections and visually striking results with less painterly artifice, preserving the material richness of metal in miniature form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut painting with TMM requires more than just metallic paint.
