Advantages

How to use

Prime the surface before painting for optimal adhesion and color fidelity. For airbrushing, use the paint directly or dilute with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and set compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers, allowing each layer to dry rapidly before the next to preserve detail. For brush application, use thin, controlled strokes and multiple thin coats rather than a single heavy coat. Clean the airbrush and brushes after use with an appropriate airbrush cleaner or water-based cleaner recommended by the manufacturer.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle tightly closed, upright and protected from extreme temperatures. Test compatibility on a non-visible area or a sample piece before full application, and follow certified safety information for handling and disposal.
