We are pleased to present True Metallic Metal – BSL System,
the new book by Pedro González and Ángel Giráldez, authors
of Color – BSL System, designed to become the essential reference for understanding and mastering Vallejo’s new True Metallic Metal paint range.
This new volume maintains the clarity, simplicity, and practical approach of its predecessor, bringing the secrets of metallic painting closer to miniature painters and wargame enthusiasts through clear examples, useful tips, and step-by-step tutorials.
The book introduces the fundamentals of True Metallic Metal, explains how the BSL system (Base, Shade, Light) is applied to metallic paints, and develops the principles of volumetry
and lighting, establishing a solid foundation for any painter seeking more controlled, expressive, and consistent results.
It also delves into color theory applied to metallics, chromatic harmony, and contrast, offering practical tools to understand how each color choice influences the final appearance of a model painted with metallic tones.
