Ruby Red Set (4 Paints) - Vallejo True Metallic Metal 18ml

Ruby Red is a coloured metallic rather than a flat red — it keeps a metal flake under a red tint, so it reads as candy-coated plate or gemstone rather than painted steel. It is the shortcut to the red-chrome look that otherwise needs a silver base and several glaze passes.

True Metallic Metal is a 20-family, 80-colour system built around a four-step Base–Light–Shade–Airbrush gradient. Every family gives you the same four roles, so once you learn the method on one metal it transfers directly to every other one in the range.

• Base — the opaque metallic starting tone
• Light — a brighter metallic for edges and raised surfaces
• Shade — a shade version for recesses and panel lines
• Airbrush — pre-thinned for large panels and basecoating
