FAQs

Can I use this paint on plastic models?

Yes, it is designed for use on plastic models, miniatures and similar surfaces, provided they are properly primed.

What is the best way to clean my brushes after use?

Clean your brushes immediately after use with water or a suitable acrylic brush cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and reshape the bristles before letting them dry.

Can I mix this paint with other colors?

Yes, Vallejo paints are generally intermixable. Experiment to create custom colors.

Is this paint suitable for airbrushing?

Yes, thin the paint appropriately with acrylic thinner designed for airbrushing.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

What kind of thinner should I use?

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick.

Thin the paint with a suitable acrylic thinner or a few drops of water before application.

Paint is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly primed and clean. Lightly sand the surface if needed.

Paint is drying too quickly in the airbrush.

Use a flow improver or retarder to slow down the drying time. Clean the airbrush regularly.

Clogging in the dropper bottle.

Carefully clean the dropper tip with a pin or needle. Ensure the paint is properly mixed.

Uneven finish after application.

Apply thinner coats and allow each layer to dry fully before applying the next.
