Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.316 Dark Mud (Brown) 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO 70.316 Dark Mud (Brown) is a matt, opaque water-based acrylic paint supplied in a 17 ml bottle with a dispenser top. Formulated for scale models, miniatures and hobby painting, this color offers stable pigmentation suitable for brush application, layering, washes and weathering techniques. The paint dries quickly to a uniform, self-leveling finish that preserves fine surface detail and adheres well to common modelling materials when applied over an appropriate primer.

Advantages

Dark Mud provides consistent coverage with a matt, opaque result ideal for base coats or shaded mid-tones. The water-based formulation allows easy thinning for airbrushing or wash preparation while brushes and tools clean up with water. The product is developed for figure and vehicle modelling workflows, delivering good adhesion to plastic, resin, metal and painted surfaces and producing a stable, non-tacky finish once dry.

Suitable for

• Base coats and mid-tones on scale models and miniatures
• Layering and blending on figures and small details
• Washes and weathering effects for vehicles and dioramas
• Brush painting and airbrushing when thinned appropriately

How to use

Apply VALLEJO Dark Mud on a clean, primed surface. Stir gently before use and dispense a small amount to a palette if required. For brush work use undiluted or slightly thinned with water; for airbrushing thin with an appropriate acrylic thinner or water to achieve the desired viscosity. Build tones using successive thin layers, allowing each layer to dry. Use diluted paint for washes and weathering effects and remove excess with a damp brush or cloth while still wet. Allow the finished paint to dry completely before handling or applying varnish.

Usage recommendations

Store upright in a cool, dry place and keep the dispenser cap tightly closed to prevent contamination and drying. Test compatibility on a small area when painting over old finishes. Use suitable primers for best adhesion and preserve small details by applying thin, controlled layers. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.
