## Long description

VALLEJO Ammo DIO Drybrush Basalt Grey is a specialized hobby paint formulated for drybrushing on scale models, miniatures and diorama surfaces. The paint is supplied in a consistency that supports controlled dry application, allowing hobbyists to pick out raised details, textures and edges with a basalt grey tone. It is intended for use on common modelling substrates such as plastic, resin and metal and is suitable for weathering, highlighting and surface aging effects.
Advantages
This drybrush paint offers a formulation optimized for low-moisture application so pigments transfer cleanly with minimal streaking. The basalt grey shade provides a neutral mid-to-dark highlight useful for stone, concrete, machinery and worn metal finishes. The container design allows precise access to small amounts of product for controlled drybrushing without repeated dilution. The paint is compatible with typical hobby tools and techniques used in model building and diorama finishing.
Suitable for
Drybrushing raised details on plastic, resin and metal miniatures
Highlighting textures on diorama terrain, stone and concrete surfaces
Creating weathering and surface aging effects on models and scale vehicles
Emphasising panel lines, bolts and mechanical edges on sci‑fi and military kits
Key specifications
Color tone: basalt grey, neutral mid-to-dark shade suitable for highlights
Formulation: low-moisture drybrush consistency for controlled pigment transfer
Substrate compatibility: plastic, resin, metal
Application method: drybrushing with brush; compatible with standard hobby brushes
Typical uses: highlighting, weathering, texture emphasis, surface aging
How to use
Load a small amount of paint onto a flat, stiff brush and remove excess on a paper towel until the brush appears almost dry. Lightly sweep the brush over raised details and textures in short, controlled strokes to deposit pigment only on the highest points. Build up layers gradually rather than applying heavy coverage at once; allow each light pass to dry before adding more. Clean brushes with the suitable solvent or water according to the paint base after completing the session.
Usage recommendations
Test the drybrushing technique on a spare part or hidden area before working on a finished model. For subtler effects, reduce pressure and use fewer bristles to pick up less pigment. Combine with base coats and washes to achieve coherent weathering and depth across the model surface.
