IONIC - Real Heavy Metal Tarnished Metal Set

ETA: Date TBA

The Real Heavy Metal Tarnished Metal Set from Ionic Smart Colours is the ultimate choice for creating a chromatic and cohesive metallic finish with tones of dark and oxidised metal. Through a logical 3-step system, the workflow is greatly simplified, giving you consistent and realistic results on everything from ancient armour to dirty machine parts.

Oxidised metal finish in three logical steps
The Tarnished Metal series is designed to mimic the depth and character that occurs when metal oxidises and darkens. Using natural mica pigments, uniform coverage and a lustre that feels genuine and heavy are guaranteed. The system guides you methodically through the painting: from a dark and solid base of oxidised metal, via a specially formulated metallic wash that creates definition in every detail, to the bright highlights that simulate worn metal where the dark patina has been rubbed away.

Content & Features:

• Tarnished Metal Base (IONIC-0818): The primary metallic colour with a deep, dark steel tone that forms the foundation for the oxidised look.
• Tarnished Metal Metallic Wash (IONIC-0838): A unique product that finds its way into details and creates natural depth without dampening the metallic feel.
• Tarnished Metal Highlight (IONIC-0858): A lighter shade optimised for crisp edge painting and to highlight worn metal on the highest points.
• Natural mica pigments: Ensures a fine-grained surface without lumps, giving a more realistic metallic finish on small-scale models.
• Technical versatility: Water-based formula that works great for both brush and airbrush, as well as techniques such as dry brushing and layering.
