Imperial Gold – True Metallic Metal Shade (77143) is a rich, warm shadow tone from Vallejo’s True Metallic Metal series. Designed to bring depth and realism to metallic gold surfaces while maintaining a convincing shine, this shade color helps complete your TMM workflow.

Use this tone over Imperial Gold Base or Light to create natural transitions in gold armor, weaponry, or decorative elements. The slight metallic sheen ensures your highlights remain dynamic even in shadowed areas.

Vallejo’s True Metallic Metal paints redefine what’s possible with metallics. With a superior pigment concentration, smooth application, and realistic finish, the Shade tone gives painters the ability to create advanced highlights and shadows without losing that essential metallic feel.

Apply it with a brush or airbrush over dried basecoats for best results. It flows easily, allowing even novice painters to achieve subtle transitions and eye-catching contrast on armor, weapons, and decorative elements. All colors in the TMM range maintain a metallic finish, including this darker tone.

Comes in an 18ml eyedropper bottle for easy application and controlled usage – no waste, no dry-outs, just rich and ready-to-use paint.
