Aged Metal Shade (77159) is a non‑metallic satin wash in an 18ml bottle, part of the Aged Metal colour family within Vallejo’s True Metallic Metal (TMM) range. This wash is formulated to add subtle shadows and depth over your rust‑metallic base layer, while preserving its reflective finish.

The full Aged Metal colour family includes:

• 77119 Aged Metal (Light) – Metallic highlight tone for accenting edges and reflections
• 77139 Aged Metal (Base) – Rust‑metallic basecoat
• 77159 Aged Metal (Shade) – This satin wash for shadows and depth
• 77179 Aged Metal (Airbrush) – Airbrush‑ready version of the base tone

Apply this wash to crevices, panel lines or textured surfaces painted with the rust‑metallic base tone. Because it contains no metallic particles, it subtly darkens and shapes the model while preserving the metallic sheen of the base coat.

Key features:

• Non‑metallic satin wash designed for rust‑metallic finishes
• Part of the structured BSL workflow (Base – Shade – Light) plus the Airbrush variant
• Water‑based acrylic, low‑odor and user‑friendly

Usage tips:

• Shake the bottle thoroughly before use to ensure even pigment suspension
• Apply selectively in recessed areas and transitions for best effect
• Dilute with water or medium if needed for smoother glazes or softer edges

By combining the full Aged Metal family – Base, Shade, Light, Airbrush – you maintain colour unity, consistent reflections and maximum control. Aged Metal Shade gives your aged metal elements the finishing touch they need.
