Brush Paint Vallejo AMMO DIO Drybrush Putrid Green – weathering drybrush paint

Vallejo AMMO DIO Drybrush Putrid Green is a ready-to-use weathering drybrush paint formulated to enhance raised details and simulate aged, corroded, or oxidised green tones on scale models and dioramas. Designed for drybrushing techniques, this paint lays down a subtle, textured finish that brings out edges, rivets and surface relief without obscuring fine detail.

Advantages

This drybrush paint is supplied in a consistency optimised for dry application, eliminating the need for dilution before use. Its pigment composition provides good coverage for highlighting edges and textures while maintaining a natural, worn appearance. The paint adheres well to common modelling surfaces and is compatible with layered weathering workflows, allowing model makers to combine it with washes, filters and matt or satin varnishes for controlled results.

Suitable for

• Highlighting raised details on military vehicles, armour and trucks
• Adding corroded or oxidised green tones to terrain, foliage and bases
• Creating worn edges and surface wear on diorama props and accessories
• Complementing washes and filters in multi-step weathering processes

Key specifications

• Formulation: ready-to-use drybrush paint
• Colour: putrid/aged green tone suitable for corrosion and patina effects
• Finish: designed to give a textured, worn appearance when drybrushed
• Packaging: small bottle with application-ready viscosity for drybrush techniques
• Compatibility: suitable for use over acrylic base coats and common modelling primers

How to use

Use a stiff drybrush or worn-bristle brush and remove most paint from the bristles by wiping on paper or cloth until only a thin layer remains. Lightly drag the brush across raised surfaces, edges and details to deposit the putrid green tone where natural wear or corrosion would occur. Apply several light passes to build the effect gradually; allow each pass to dry before adding more. Combine with washes, filters or varnishes as needed to integrate the drybrushed highlights into the overall finish.

Usage recommendations

Test the paint on a scrap surface or an inconspicuous area to determine the desired intensity. For finer control, use a smaller brush and reduce pressure; for stronger highlights, increase the number of light passes. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and reseal after use to maintain application viscosity.
