Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.063 Silver RLM01 17 ml bottle (metallic)

VALLEJO 71.063 Silver RLM01 is a 17 ml metallic acrylic paint supplied in a dispenser bottle designed for controlled application. Part of the Model Air range, this water-based formulation is especially formulated for airbrushing while remaining brushable. The colour reproduces a metallic silver finish historically used on military models; it dries rapidly to a homogeneous film that preserves fine surface detail and offers high resistance once cured. The bottle format allows precise dispensing and easy thinning for airbrush use.

Advantages

This metallic acrylic is water-based, fast-drying and suitable for both airbrush and brush application. Its formulation provides a stable metallic sheen and a uniform film that retains small details on miniatures and scale models. The dispenser bottle enables controlled dosing and convenient mixing with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver when required for different application methods.

Suitable for

• Scale models and military miniatures requiring a metallic silver finish
• Airbrushing with Model Air when diluted to recommended viscosity
• Detail brushwork on models, weathering highlights, and metallic accents

Key specifications

• Finish: Metallic silver
• Base: Water-based acrylic
• Application methods: Airbrush or brush
• Drying: Rapid drying to a homogeneous film

How to use

Prime the model surface before applying the paint. For airbrushing, thin the paint with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to achieve the desired viscosity; recommended compressor pressure for Model Air is approximately 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin, even layers, allowing each layer to dry briefly before the next to preserve surface detail and achieve an even metallic finish. The paint can also be applied directly with a brush for detail work or small areas.

Usage recommendations

For correct airbrush maintenance use Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and shake well before use to ensure uniform metallic dispersion. Test thinning ratios on a spare surface to find the optimal flow for your tool and technique.
