Real Heavy Metal is a metallic system Ionic developed over more than a year, and it addresses exactly where metallics usually fail: a gritty surface, uneven sheen and pigment that rubs off. The Bright Silver set contains three coordinated shades – Base, Metallic Wash and Highlight.

How is the system used?
Three steps in order: Base over the whole surface, Metallic Wash into the recesses and Highlight on the edges. Nothing to mix and no unusual thinning – the metal is finished in minutes.
Can the shades be bought separately?
Not at present – Real Heavy Metal shades are sold only in these three-jar sets, one per specific metal.
How do I thin these paints?
With water or an Ionic thinner. They are self-hydrating, so they stay workable on the palette far longer than ordinary acrylics – a drop for brush work, roughly 1 : 1 for airbrush.
Is the set better value than single jars?
If you need at least half the shades, yes – the set costs less than the same number of individual jars. If you are missing only two, buy them separately in the Ionic Smart Colors category.
The other sets are in the Ionic sets category.
