FAQs
What is the best way to thin Vallejo Model Colour?
You can thin Vallejo Model Colour with water or a dedicated acrylic thinner. Start with a small amount and gradually add more until you reach the desired consistency.
Do I need to prime my model before using this paint?
Yes, priming your model is recommended for optimal adhesion and a smoother finish. Use a primer suitable for the material of your model.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean your brushes immediately after use with water. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. You can also use a brush cleaner specifically designed for acrylic paints.
Can I use this paint for airbrushing?
While primarily designed for brush application, Vallejo Model Colour can be used in an airbrush if thinned properly with a suitable thinner. However, other Vallejo paint lines are better suited for airbrushing.
How should I store the paint?
Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent the paint from drying out.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
Vallejo Model Colour adheres exceptionally well to resin, plastics, steel, and white metal. It is designed for use on models and miniatures.
Is Vallejo Model Colour non-toxic?
Yes, Vallejo Model Colour is non-toxic and non-flammable, making it a safer option for use.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick or clumpy.
Add a small amount of water or acrylic thinner to the paint and mix well. Ensure the paint is properly mixed before use.
Paint does not adhere well to the surface.
Ensure the surface is properly primed before painting. Use a primer specifically designed for the material of your model. Lightly sand the surface if necessary.
Brushstrokes are visible after the paint dries.
Apply thinner coats of paint and avoid overloading the brush. Use a high-quality brush and ensure the paint is evenly distributed.
Paint dries too quickly on the palette.
Use a wet palette to keep the paint moist for a longer period. Add a few drops of water to the paint on the palette to slow down the drying process.
Color appears different after drying.
This is common with acrylic paints. Consider this change when mixing or applying colors. Test the color on a small, hidden area of your model first.
