About the True Metallic Metal Technique
The True Metallic Metal (TMM) technique replicates authentic metallic surfaces using metallic paints—unlike Non-Metallic Metal (NMM), which simulates metal with flat tones.
TMM emphasizes natural light reflection, depth, and gradient control, delivering visually striking, realistic results with genuine metallic brilliance. Vallejo’s TMM range was developed to simplify this process, offering professional quality finishes through intuitive, consistent color systems.
The True Metallic Metal SystemEach of the 20 chromatic families functions as a cohesive color group, while remaining fully compatible for cross-blending to achieve subtle variations, gradients, or light temperature shifts.
