FAQs

Can I use Vallejo Game Colour Verdigris for airbrushing?

What surfaces can I paint with this paint?

This paint works well on resin, plastic, steel, and white metal surfaces, provided they are primed.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean your brushes with water immediately after use. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Avoid letting the paint dry on the brush.

Is this paint non-toxic?

Yes, Vallejo Game Colour Verdigris is a water-based paint and is non-toxic.

How should I store this paint?

Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Can I mix this paint with other brands?

What is the drying time for Vallejo Game Colour Verdigris?

The paint dries rapidly, with a typical drying time of 15-30 minutes depending on the thickness of the coat and environmental conditions.

Do I need to apply a varnish after painting?

Applying a varnish is recommended to protect your work, especially if the models will be handled frequently. It also provides a consistent finish (matte, satin, or gloss) to the painted surface.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface has been properly primed. If primed, try lightly sanding the surface and reapplying primer.

Paint is too thick and clumpy.

Thin the paint with water or a suitable acrylic paint thinner to improve flow.

Color appears different after drying.

Ensure that each layer is completely dry before applying the next one. The color might change slightly upon drying.

Paint is drying too quickly.

Work in a well-ventilated area, and use a wet palette to keep the paint from drying out quickly.

Paint is chipping or flaking.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, and apply thin, even coats of paint. Consider applying a sealant or varnish after painting.
