Modeling water-dilutable acrylic paint designed for painting or airbrushing on plastic, metal, wood, ceramics, textiles, or any other suitable surface. Non-flammable base, dries quickly - after approx. 1 hour, the surface can be repainted, fully dries within 2-3 hours.

Packaging: Paint usually comes in 17 ml./0.57 fl.oz. bottles. with a dropper. This packaging prevents evaporation and drying of the paint in the container, so it can be used in minimal quantities and stored for a long time. Some shades or special colors are packaged in 32ml./1.08 fl.oz bottles. with screw cap.

Good tip: These water-based paints are best applied to a slightly rough, absorbent surface. When applied to bare plastic or metal, there may be a problem with poor adhesion of the paint. Therefore, it is best to prepare the surface of the model, for example, by spraying it with some modeling base paint, for example Vallejo Surface Primer, or Tamiya Surfacer in a spray. Subsequent work with Vallejo paint is subsequently much more comfortable and the result is absolutely perfect.

Mix the paint well before use. Apply to a well-degreased, dry, clean surface. Always close tightly, the paint dries with air access. Always wipe the top of the container dry, do not let paint residues dry even on the edge. This will extend the shelf life of the paint after resealing.

Thinning: Use only original Vallejo thinner or water. If you use another thinner, the color may deteriorate.

Painting: The paint is supplied in such a dilution that it can be used immediately.

Airbrushing: For airbrushing, Model Color must be diluted appropriately with water/thinner, according to the type of airbrush and other spraying parameters. Compressor air pressure of 15-20 PSI or 0.5-1 kg is recommended for spraying these paints. To improve the flow of paint through the nozzle of the spray gun, we recommend using Vallejo Flow Improver, which significantly increases the comfort of airbrushing.

Drying time: Against the touch, the paint literally dries "before your eyes" within a few minutes. Drying can be accelerated by using a hair dryer. Complete drying takes approximately 2 hours, depending on the thickness of the layer. For further painting/spraying with a new layer, just wait a few minutes for the original layer to dry.

Cleaning: Wash immediately with water after using the device. While the paint is fresh, it can be completely washed off without leaving any traces. To clean the spray gun, we recommend Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner or another brand.
