Vallejo Metal Medium (17ml.) Is used to make a metallic color of every color. Mix Metal Medium for example 2 parts acrylic color and 1 part metal medium (2: 1) to get a nice shine in the color. Since Metal Medium is as good as transparent, it is also widely used to give NMM (Non-Metal-Metal) the last highlight a glimmer so that the light is caught just a bit more.
