Sterling Silver Base from Vallejo’s True Metallic Metal range is the essential silver metallic foundation for miniatures that need to shine. As the core shade in the Sterling Silver family, it works perfectly in combination with its Light, Shade, and Airbrush counterparts. Whether you're painting knights, robots, or fantasy figures, this base color lays down the groundwork for a convincing metallic finish.
The True Metallic Metal (TMM) series isn’t just metallic paint—it’s a complete system. Using the BSL method (Base, Shade, Light), it lets you control contrast, brightness, and texture without mastering complex NMM (non-metallic metal) techniques. It’s professional-grade painting made accessible to all.
Sterling Silver Base offers high pigmentation and ultra-fine metallic particles that deliver smooth, opaque coverage. The paint self-levels beautifully, leaving minimal brush marks and a consistent shine. It’s the perfect layer to build upon for realistic metal effects.
