Crimson Magenta Base (77127) is a bold metallic magenta basecoat in a 18ml bottle, created as part of Vallejo’s True Metallic Metal system. It forms the central step in the BSL method (Base, Shade, Light) and provides a strong foundation for building luminous magenta metal effects on your miniatures.

The complete Crimson Magenta color family includes:

• 77107 Crimson Magenta (Light) – For shine and edge highlights
• 77127 Crimson Magenta (Base) – This base tone
• 77147 Crimson Magenta (Shade) – Non-metallic satin wash for shadow
• 77167 Crimson Magenta (Airbrush) – Airbrush-ready version of the Base

Crimson Magenta Base offers a striking, metallic coverage that shines with character. It’s especially suited for:

• Magical weapons, artifacts and relics
• Fantasy armor and steampunk equipment
• Sci-fi panels or mystic technology

Use this tone as the starting point of your metallic workflow. Prime your model with a dark color, apply Crimson Magenta Base in several thin coats, add shadows with the Shade, and finish with Light for sharp accents. For large areas or smooth blends, the Airbrush version offers ideal consistency.

Features:

• Rich metallic magenta base paint
• Excellent coverage with brush or thinned for airbrush
• Water-based, low-odor, pigment-rich formula
• Pairs seamlessly with the other TMM Crimson Magenta tones

Tips for best use:

• Shake well before use for even pigment distribution
• Use over a dark primer for added contrast and depth
• Apply in thin layers to preserve metallic finish

Crimson Magenta Base is your entry point into bold and brilliant magenta metal painting. Use it with the full BSL color set for a complete system that brings your miniatures to life with glow, depth, and style.
