Acrylic Model Paint VALLEJO Model Air Cement Grey 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO Model Air Cement Grey 17 ml is an acrylic model paint in a realistic cement grey shade, supplied in a 17 ml bottle with a dispenser cap. Formulated for airbrushing but suitable for brush work, this water-based, matt acrylic paint offers rapid drying and a uniform, durable film that preserves fine model detail. The colour is part of the Model Air range, prepared from historical military references and optimized for scale models and miniatures made of plastic, resin and metal.

Advantages

This matt acrylic paint is water-based and non-flammable, allowing safe studio use and easy thinning with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for airbrush application. The eyedropper-style bottle and dispenser cap reduce evaporation and waste, enabling precise dosing. Model Air dries quickly to a resistant finish, delivers consistent coverage in multiple thin layers, and maintains surface detail for base coats, highlights and weathering techniques.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing scale models and miniatures
• Brush-applied base coats and touch-ups
• Weathering, washes and layering on plastic, resin and metal
• Historical military modelling requiring accurate cement grey tones

How to use

Prime the model surface before painting to ensure adhesion and accurate colour. For airbrushing, thin Model Air with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired viscosity and apply in several thin coats at recommended compressor pressures (around 15–20 psi / 0.5–1 kg). For brush work, use undiluted or slightly thinned paint and apply thin, even layers to avoid obscuring fine details. Allow each coat to dry before applying additional layers or weathering effects.

Usage recommendations

Clean the airbrush after use with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner to maintain optimal performance. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consult the product safety information for handling guidance.
