Ultramarine Blue Base (77130) is a bold metallic cobalt‑blue base paint in an 18ml bottle, created as the foundational tone within the Ultramarine Blue colour family of Vallejo’s True Metallic Metal (TMM) range. This colour lays the groundwork for vibrant metallic finishes with depth, shine and realism.

The full Ultramarine Blue colour family includes:

• 77110 Ultramarine Blue (Light) – Metallic highlight tone for accenting edges and reflections
• 77130 Ultramarine Blue (Base) – This foundational base tone
• 77150 Ultramarine Blue (Shade) – Non‑metallic satin wash for shadows and depth
• 77170 Ultramarine Blue (Airbrush) – Airbrush‑ready version of the base tone

This base paint is ideal for models where you want a vibrant blue metallic finish — such as futuristic weapons, sci‑fi devices or decorative metallic details. Apply it over a dark primer to maximize contrast and metallic depth. Use several thin coats to build coverage and allow the metallic pigment to reflect beautifully.

Key features:

• Rich metallic cobalt‑blue base tone for high‑impact metal finishes
• Water‑based acrylic with ultra‑fine metallic pigments and excellent coverage
• Self‑levelling formula ensures smooth finish and minimal brush marks
• Designed to work seamlessly with the full Ultramarine Blue family for a structured metallic workflow

Usage tips:

• Shake the bottle thoroughly before use to distribute metallic particles evenly
• Prime with a dark base for enhanced contrast and metallic depth
• Apply multiple thin layers rather than a single thick coat to maintain clarity and shimmer

Ultramarine Blue Base gives you the vibrant metallic cobalt‑blue finish you’ve been seeking. Pair it with the Shade, Light and Airbrush variants of the same family to achieve layered, reflective results that truly stand out.
