Metallic acrylic wash – 20ml bottle

Tarnished Metal wash color, the 2nd step in the Real Heavy Metal SMART system, designed to create a realistic tarnished metal finish in just 3 simple steps (1. Base, 2. Shadow, 3. Highlight).

Painting metallics can be one of the most frustrating parts of the hobby. Many painters struggle with:

• Chunky finish or visible brushstrokes
• Uneven or patchy shine
• Dull metallics or muddy mixes
• Shadows that kill reflectivity
• Harsh, unrealistic highlights
• Metallic pigment rubbing off
• Tone shifts depending on viewing angle

Real Heavy Metal eliminates these issues with a professional, fast, and extremely intuitive system.

Developed by IONIC over more than a year of testing and refinement, it delivers a bright, stable, true metallic finish that remains consistent under any working conditions.

Engineered for all skill levels — from beginners seeking instant impact to advanced painters demanding maximum performance.

A Professional 3-Step Metallic System: Base • Wash • Highlight

Real Heavy Metal is a complete, coordinated triad system. Each set includes:

3 bottles • 3 tones • 3 steps — Base, Wash, and Highlight

Follow the sequence. No complex blending. No mixing required.

1. Metallic Base

High-coverage formula that covers in a single coat. Fast drying and engineered to deliver authentic metallic shine from the very first layer. Maximum intensity with minimal effort.
