Burnished Metal is the dark version of the Real Heavy Metal system – metal that is polished but not bright. Three coordinated shades give steel deep recesses and sharp edge reflections, so blades and armour read heavy and real rather than like foil.

Frequently asked questions
Why dark metal instead of silver?
Because real steel is darker than people expect. A blade in silver looks like foil – dark metal with a sharp highlight on the edge reads far heavier and more convincing.
Can it be combined with the other Real Heavy Metal sets?
Yes, and that is the best way to use it. Dark steel as the base of the armour with gold or silver on the trim alone gives a figure hierarchy.
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.
