FAQs

Can I use this paint on metal models?

Yes, Vallejo Model Colour is suitable for use on metal models. Ensure the surface is clean and primed for best results.

Do I need to prime before using this paint?

Priming is highly recommended for optimal adhesion and a smoother finish, especially on plastic and metal surfaces.

How do I thin the paint?

You can thin Vallejo Model Colour with water or Vallejo paint thinner. Use small increments and mix well.

How should I store the paint?

Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bottle is properly sealed to prevent drying.

Can I use this paint with an airbrush?

Yes, but it's recommended to thin the paint appropriately for airbrushing. Consult airbrushing guides or Vallejo's specific recommendations for thinning ratios.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean brushes immediately after use with water. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. Use brush cleaner if necessary.

Is the finish matte or glossy?

The Vallejo Model Colour Vermillion has a matte finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is clumpy or thick.

Add a small amount of water or Vallejo paint thinner to the paint and mix thoroughly. Ensure the paint has not dried out in the bottle.

Paint is not adhering well.

Ensure the surface is properly primed before painting. Lightly sand the surface for better adhesion if necessary.

Brush strokes are visible.

Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. You may also thin the paint slightly.

Paint is drying too quickly.

Work in a well-ventilated area, but avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. You may use a retarder to slow down the drying time.

  • Water-based formula for easy cleanup and safety.
  • Dries quickly, allowing for multiple coats and faster project completion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and primed with a suitable primer for the material (e.g., plastic, metal). Shake the paint bottle well before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed.
  2. Application: Use a brush to apply the paint in thin, even coats. Avoid applying thick coats, as this can lead to uneven drying and a less-detailed finish. For best results, allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
  3. Thinning: If desired, thin the paint with water or Vallejo paint thinner for smoother application and to prevent clogging on fine details. Use the recommended ratio as per the product's instructions.
  4. Cleaning: Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with water. Avoid letting the paint dry on brushes.

Care

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