Bring your miniatures to life with the Sterling Silver True Metallic Metal Paint Set from Vallejo. This 4-color set from the True Metallic Metal range gives you everything you need to paint realistic silver metals, from vibrant shine to controlled shadow, using Vallejo’s structured BSL (Base, Shade, Light) system.

Included in the set are four 18ml bottles:

• 77101 Sterling Silver (Light) – A bright metallic silver tone perfect for adding highlights and reflective edges.
• 77121 Sterling Silver (Base) – A neutral, smooth metallic silver base with excellent coverage and gloss.
• 77141 Sterling Silver (Shade) – A satin-finish non-metallic wash formulated to darken the Base while preserving its shine. Use it in recesses or to add soft shadow transitions.
• 77161 Sterling Silver (Airbrush) – An airbrush-ready metallic version of the Base tone, perfect for large surfaces and even coats without thinning.

This set allows painters of any skill level to produce convincing metallic finishes without relying on Non-Metallic Metal (NMM) techniques. The Shade color is particularly useful for adding depth — it’s not metallic itself but enhances the overall realism when layered correctly over the Base.

The paints in this set are water-based, pigment-rich, and formulated for smooth application. They’re ideal for both brush and airbrush use. The Airbrush version requires no dilution, though it can be thinned for more subtle effects. Shake well before use for best results.

Recommended tips for use:

• Prime your model with a dark color to enhance metallic reflections.
• Apply thin coats and allow proper drying time between layers.
• Use Shade selectively to control contrast and volume without losing the metallic look.

Whether you're painting armor, weapons, mechanical parts, or fantasy characters, this Sterling Silver set gives you a complete tonal range to create depth, shine, and contrast — all in a unified, easy-to-use system.

If you want to streamline your painting workflow while achieving brilliant silver effects, this set is a smart addition to your paint rack.
