Beetle Green Base (77133) is a rich metallic green base paint in a 18ml bottle, crafted as the foundational tone within the Beetle Green colour family of Vallejo’s True Metallic Metal (TMM) range. This vibrant green metallic provides an excellent starting point for models that demand bold green metal finishes.

The full Beetle Green colour family includes:

• 77113 Beetle Green (Light) – Metallic highlight for accent edges
• 77133 Beetle Green (Base) – This core basecoat
• 77153 Beetle Green (Shade) – Non‑metallic satin wash for shadows and depth
• 77173 Beetle Green (Airbrush) – Airbrush‑ready version of the Base tone

Beetle Green Base is ideal for painting:

• Fantasy armors and weapons with green metal details
• Sci‑fi vehicles or drones using green metal panels
• Diorama elements featuring green metallic mechanical or organic motifs

This base tone is applied as the first step in the workflow: over a dark primer, in thin coats for optimal finish. After applying this layer, you deepen with Shade and accent with Light; large surfaces may use the Airbrush version for ease and consistency.

Features:

• Deep metallic green paint for base layers
• Water‑based acrylic, low‑odor and ultra‑fine metallic pigments for smooth application
• Excellent coverage, compatible with brush or airbrush use when thinned
• Colour‑matched to the rest of the Beetle Green family for uniform results

Usage tips:

• Shake bottle thoroughly before use
• Prime with a dark tone to enhance contrast and metallic depth
• Use multiple thin layers instead of one heavy coat for best metallic effect

Beetle Green Base gives you a standout, glossy green metallic finish which commands attention on any tabletop or display. Pair it with the other tones in the family for a complete, controlled metallic workflow delivering professional results.
