How to use

Prime the surface before painting to ensure adhesion and uniform color. For airbrushing, use the paint directly or dilute with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to obtain the desired viscosity; recommended compressor pressure is 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers, allowing each layer to dry quickly before the next to preserve surface detail. For brush work, use the paint undiluted for coverage or slightly thinned for smoother glazing and layering effects. Clean tools and airbrush with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner after use.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle capped and away from extreme temperatures. Test thinning ratios on a scrap piece or palette before applying to the model. When airbrushing, maintain recommended pressure and clean the airbrush regularly to avoid clogging and ensure consistent spray patterns.
