Aged Metal 18 ml - True Metallic Metal Light Aged Metal acrylic paint is water-based and part of the BLS system. The Vallejo True Metallic Metal range is a well-designed 4-step system: Base-Light-Shade-Airbrush where each color is available in its respective variant. This allows metallic surfaces to be built up step by step: from the opaque base coat through targeted highlights (Light) and realistic shadows (Shade) to the airbrush version for larger areas. Vallejo True Metallic Metal - LIGHT The Aged Metal Light variant is a lighter version of the base tone specifically designed for creating targeted highlights reflections or points of light. It shares the same hue (temperature and base tone) as the base version but with a higher luminance value. This ensures your highlights remain tonally consistent without appearing too white. Do I need prior knowledge of LIGHT paints? To use Light effectively you should understand how highlights and metallic transitions work. Light is usually applied selectively or along edges such as on protruding surfaces or where light hits intensely. It's also frequently mixed with the Base version to create smooth transitions (gradients) without harsh edges. Tips for use Use Light for details sharp reflections and glossy accents. A very fine brush is suitable for good application. If you apply Light too heavily the shine can be too intense so work in a controlled manner with thin layers. For transitions you can mix Light for example 50:50 with the Base version and let it fade out smoothly.
