Acrylic paint VALLEJO 71.047 Grey, 17 ml, liquid, solvent-free

VALLEJO 71.047 Grey is a 17 ml bottle of liquid, solvent-free acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniatures and other detailed hobby painting. As a water-based, matt acrylic designed within Vallejo’s Model Air line, it offers a paint film that dries rapidly while preserving fine surface detail. The product is supplied as a single unit and is suitable for both brush application and airbrushing when diluted or used directly according to the technique.

Advantages

This grey acrylic paint is solvent-free and water-based, enabling easy thinning and cleaning with water. Its liquid consistency ensures smooth, even brush strokes and predictable flow when used with airbrush accessories. Fast drying and good adhesion produce a homogeneous matt finish that maintains miniature detail and resists wear in typical hobby applications. The formulation is compatible with Vallejo airbrush thinners and flow improvers for controlled viscosity and spray performance.

Suitable for

• Painting plastic, resin and metal models and miniatures
• Airbrushing when diluted with appropriate thinner or flow improver
• Brush application for touch-ups and fine detail work

Key specifications

• Color: Grey
• Finish: Matt
• Volume: 17 ml

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment dispersion. For brush application apply thin, even coats and allow each layer to dry before adding subsequent coats. For airbrushing, dilute the paint with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired viscosity and use recommended compressor settings (approximately 15–20 PSI or 0.5–1 kg) for a consistent spray pattern. Prime the surface prior to painting to improve adhesion and preserve detail.

Usage recommendations

Use a suitable primer for best adhesion, clean airbrush equipment after each session with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner, and apply multiple thin layers rather than a single heavy coat to avoid obscuring fine model details.
