FAQs

Can I use Vallejo Model Colour Prussian Blue with an airbrush?

Yes, but it requires thinning with Vallejo thinner and the addition of a flow improver to prevent clogging and ensure a smooth finish.

How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?

Clean your brushes immediately with water and, if necessary, a brush cleaner designed for acrylic paints.

What is the best way to thin Vallejo Model Colour paints?

Use Vallejo paint thinner or distilled water. Add a few drops at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.

Does this paint require a primer?

Priming is recommended for optimal adhesion and a more even finish. Vallejo primers are a good choice.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint dries quickly to the touch, usually within minutes. Allow a few hours for it to fully cure before handling.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

Vallejo Model Colour is suitable for metal, plastic, resin, steel and white metal.

How much paint is in each bottle?

Each bottle contains 17 ml of paint.

Does this paint contain solvents?

No, it is a water-based acrylic paint and does not contain solvents.

Troubleshooting

Paint is clumpy or dried out.

Ensure the bottle is sealed tightly. If the paint is slightly dry, add a few drops of Vallejo thinner or distilled water and mix well.

Paint is not adhering to the surface.

Make sure the model is properly primed and cleaned before applying the paint. For better adhesion, lightly sand the surface before priming.

Brush strokes are visible.

Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Thin the paint if needed. Use a high-quality brush for smoother application.

Paint appears too glossy

Ensure you are using the matte finish paint. If it still appears glossy, apply a matte varnish after the paint has fully dried.
