Beetle Green Shade (77153) is a non‑metallic satin wash in a 18ml bottle, specially formulated for use within the Beetle Green colour family of the Vallejo True Metallic Metal (TMM) range. This wash allows you to create realistic shadow and depth on green metallic surfaces without diminishing the underlying sheen.

The full Beetle Green colour family includes:

• 77113 Beetle Green (Light) – Metallic highlight tone
• 77133 Beetle Green (Base) – Green metallic base coat
• 77153 Beetle Green (Shade) – This satin wash for shadows
• 77173 Beetle Green (Airbrush) – Airbrush‑ready version of the Base

Beetle Green Shade is ideal for accentuating recesses, panel lines, folded surfaces or textured areas on models painted with Beetle Green Base. Because it contains no metallic pigment, it darkens those areas naturally while preserving the metallic reflection of the base coat.

Features:

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

Usage tips:

• Shake the bottle well before use to ensure good pigment distribution
• Apply selectively in the lower regions, crevices, and panel lines for best effect
• Dilute with water or medium for softer shading or glazes

With Beetle Green Shade you can easily add convincing depth and contrast to your green metallic areas. Use it alongside the Base, Light and Airbrush variants in the Beetle Green family for a full structured metallic workflow that delivers professional results.
