Troubleshooting

Paint is clumpy or thick.

Add a few drops of water or acrylic thinner to the paint and mix thoroughly. Ensure the paint has been stored properly.

Paint doesn't adhere well.

Ensure the surface is properly primed before painting. Lightly sand the surface if necessary to improve adhesion.

Brush strokes are visible.

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

Paint dries too quickly.

Work in a well-ventilated area, but avoid direct sunlight or excessive heat. Consider using a retarder to slow the drying time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and primed. Priming is highly recommended for optimal adhesion and color performance.
  2. Application: Use a brush designed for detail painting. Apply thin, even coats to avoid pooling and ensure even coverage. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
  3. Thinning (If Required): While designed for brush use, thinning the paint slightly with water or a suitable acrylic thinner can help with smooth application, especially for larger areas.
  4. Cleaning: Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with water.
  5. Compatibility: Vallejo Model Colour paints are compatible with most acrylic primers and varnishes. However, always test the compatibility of products on a test surface before applying them to your finished model.
  6. Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place. Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
