Vallejo Model Color is an acrylic paint line that has set the standard in the modeling world for years. This series is designed for enthusiasts painting figures and models, offering top-notch quality, excellent coverage, and a matte finish.
Series Description
The Model Color series consists of 220 products, including 192 highly opaque colors, 10 metallic shades, 2 transparent colors, and 16 auxiliary products. All paints are available in new eco-friendly 18 ml r-PET bottles made from recycled materials.
The new paint formula ensures excellent flow, high coverage, and quick drying, creating a uniform, self-leveling layer that highlights every detail of the model.
Instructions for Use
- Surface Preparation: Painting on a primed surface is recommended to ensure better paint adhesion.
- Paint Preparation: Shake the bottle thoroughly before use to evenly mix the pigments. If the paint seems too thick, it can be thinned with distilled water or Vallejo's dedicated thinner.
- Application: Apply the paint in thin layers, allowing each to dry (approximately 5 minutes) to achieve the desired color depth. Use high-quality brushes for the best results.
- Avoiding Issues: Do not use Tamiya X-20A thinner with Vallejo paints, as it may damage the paint. To prevent the paint from drying quickly on the brush, consider using a wet palette or a drying retardant (Retarder Medium).
- Cleaning and Maintenance: After painting, clean your tools with soapy water or a dedicated cleaner such as Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner.
Applications
The Model Color paints are perfect for painting historical models, vehicles, fantasy figures, and sci-fi projects. They can be used with brushes or airbrushes after proper thinning.
Additional Tips
- Store paints at room temperature and avoid direct sunlight.
- Experiment with mixing colors to create unique shades.
- Apply a clear varnish layer to protect the finished work.
