FAQs

Can I use Vallejo Model Colour on metal?

Yes, Vallejo Model Colour adheres exceptionally well to metal surfaces. However, ensure the metal is clean and primed beforehand.

How do I thin Vallejo Model Colour?

You can thin Vallejo Model Colour with water or acrylic thinner. Add a small amount at a time and mix well until you reach the desired consistency.

What kind of brush should I use?

Use a brush specifically designed for model painting. Synthetic brushes are generally a good choice for acrylic paints.

Is Vallejo Model Colour safe for children?

Vallejo Model Colour is non-toxic and non-flammable, making it safe for use by children under adult supervision.

How do I store the paint?

Store the paint in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is securely closed to prevent drying.

Can I mix Vallejo Model Colour with other paints?

Yes, Vallejo Model Colour can be mixed with other acrylic paints to create custom colors. However, it's best to stick to other acrylics for the best results.

What if the paint dries in the bottle?

The eyedropper bottle helps to prevent drying. If it does dry, try adding a few drops of water and mixing well. If it’s too far gone, it might be unusable.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick.

Thin the paint with water or acrylic thinner before application. Apply in thin coats.

Paint is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly primed and clean before painting.

Brush strokes are visible.

Apply thinner coats and allow each layer to dry completely. Use a quality brush and maintain a consistent painting direction.

Paint is drying too quickly.

Work in a well-ventilated area, but avoid direct sunlight or heat. Use a retarder to slow the drying process.
