How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigmentation. For airbrushing, thin the paint with an appropriate airbrush thinner or flow improver to the desired viscosity and set compressor pressure to approximately 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers rather than a single thick coat, allowing each layer to dry quickly before applying the next. For brush application, use undiluted or slightly thinned paint depending on the level of detail required. Clean brushes and airbrush equipment with water or a recommended airbrush cleaner.

Usage recommendations

Prime the surface before painting to improve adhesion and color fidelity. Use Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for airbrushing and Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner for maintenance. Apply multiple thin coats for best results and preserve fine model details by avoiding overly thick layers.
