How to use

Prime the model surface before painting to ensure proper adhesion. For airbrushing, use directly or dilute with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to achieve the desired viscosity; recommended compressor pressure is 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply several thin layers rather than a single heavy coat, allowing short drying intervals between passes. The paint can also be applied with a brush for smaller areas and detailing. Clean the airbrush after use with a suitable cleaner.

Usage recommendations

For best results when airbrushing, thin the paint if necessary, maintain compressor pressure at 15–20 PSI, and apply multiple light coats. Use a primer compatible with acrylic paints and perform regular airbrush maintenance with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and close the dispenser tightly after use.
