Review on 🎨 Discover Brilliance: Vallejo Metallic Colors, 17ml (Set of 8) by Doris Tran

Very thick when it comes out of the bottle and very transparent when diluted enough to use. The lightest silver is almost completely transparent to the point where it cannot be used for highlighting. It almost looks like an unpigmented metallic medium. Copper is good for very fine detail but looks like a golden sheen hanging in a reddish-brown medium when you paint with it over large areas. Gun Blue is a nice metallic blue, but too light to look like Gun Blueing. These can be used, but in most cases you will need a more opaque metallic paint as a primer; Attempting to paint most colors directly over a black or white primer results in a blotchy mess. And honestly, you should just buy more paint from whoever made your metal base coat. I like a lot of Vallejo colors but I would suggest Army Painter or Citadel Metallics.
