Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.069 Brown (Rust Metallic) 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO 71.069 Brown (Rust Metallic) is a 17 ml bottle of water-based acrylic paint formulated for scale models, miniatures and hobby painting. Supplied in a dispensing bottle with an eyedropper, this metallic brown (Rust) shade is suitable for precision work and detailed finishes. The formulation is lightfast, non-flammable and solvent-free, allowing thinning, layering and easy cleanup with water. The paint dries rapidly to a uniform film that preserves fine model detail and can be applied by airbrush or brush.

Advantages

This Vallejo acrylic offers a metallic rust tone with stable pigmentation and fast drying, providing good adhesion and resistance while maintaining surface detail. The eyedropper bottle reduces evaporation and keeps small quantities usable for extended periods. The water-based formulation allows easy thinning with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and cleaning with water, and it is compatible with standard model priming practices.

Suitable for

• Scale model painting and weathering on plastic, resin and metal miniatures
• Airbrushing military models, vehicles and dioramas
• Brush application for small details and touch-ups
• Layering and glazing techniques to create rust and metallic effects

How to use

Prime the model surface before applying paint for the best adhesion and color uniformity. For airbrushing, use the paint directly or thin with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired consistency and spray at a recommended compressor pressure of 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers to build color and preserve surface detail; allow each layer to dry rapidly before adding the next. The paint can also be applied with a brush for fine details and touch-ups. Clean tools and the airbrush with water; for thorough airbrush maintenance use Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to minimize evaporation and preserve paint quality. Consult the product safety information for handling instructions and follow standard hobby safety practices when airbrushing or using solvents and cleaners.
