Paint set VALLEJO Game Color Non Metallic Metal 72.193 (8 x 18 ml)

VALLEJO Game Color Non Metallic Metal 72.193 (8 x 18 ml) is a set of eight acrylic paints formulated for painting miniatures and scale models. The collection reproduces metallic tones through pigment and shading techniques rather than metallic flakes, offering controlled, non-reflective finishes suitable for basecoating, layering and fine detail work on plastic, resin and metal figures. Each bottle contains 18 ml of paint in the Game Color range, designed for consistency, good coverage and compatibility with standard miniature painting workflows.

Advantages

The Non Metallic Metal set provides stable, easy-to-thin acrylic colors that simulate metal surfaces while avoiding the issues of metallic pigments, such as uneven reflectivity or clogging in fine details. These paints dry to a durable, matte-to-satin finish, allow smooth blending and are compatible with brushes and airbrushes when thinned appropriately. The uniform consistency across the eight shades supports predictable layering, glazing and edge highlighting techniques often used in tabletop painting.

Suitable for

• Painting tabletop miniatures and wargaming figures
• Basecoating and layering on plastic, resin and metal models
• Detail work such as highlights, shadows and small ornaments
• Techniques that require non-reflective metallic appearance and controlled shading

Key specifications

• Contents: 8 bottles, 18 ml each
• Paint type: water-based acrylic
• Finish: non-metallic simulation (matte to satin appearance)
• Suitable substrates: plastic, resin, metal miniatures
• Application: brush and airbrush when thinned

How to use

Shake each bottle well before use to ensure pigments are mixed. Apply thin coats for even coverage and build up tones gradually for the desired metallic effect; use a wet palette to extend working time and aid blending. For airbrushing, thin the paint with a water-based thinner or airbrush medium to appropriate viscosity. Allow adequate drying time between layers and seal painted miniatures with a compatible varnish for protection.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prime miniatures with a neutral or dark primer to enhance contrast, thin paints incrementally for smooth transitions, and use glazing and edge highlights to emphasize simulated metal surfaces. Store bottles upright in a cool, dry place and cap tightly after use to preserve consistency.
