VALLEJO Ammo DIO Drybrush Lime Green is a ready-to-use acrylic paint formulated for drybrushing on scale models, miniatures and dioramas.

Designed for hobbyists and model-makers, this Lime Green shade is intended to highlight edges, accentuate textures and add subtle color contrast to vegetation, armor weathering and scenic elements.

Advantages

This drybrush paint is supplied at a consistency optimized for direct application with a drybrush technique, reducing the need for additional thinning or preparation. It dries quickly to a durable matte finish and maintains good pigmentation for consistent highlighting. The water-based acrylic formulation is compatible with common modelling surfaces such as plastic, resin and metal, and is formulated to layer well over standard primers and base coats.

Suitable for

• Highlighting raised details on miniatures and scale models

How to use

Apply the paint with a drybrush technique: remove excess paint from the brush on a paper towel until only a small amount remains on the bristles, then lightly sweep the brush across raised areas to deposit thin, controlled highlights. The ready-to-use consistency eliminates the need for thinning in most cases; however, if a thinner application is required, add a small amount of water sparingly. Allow each layer to dry before applying further highlights or varnish.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on a clean, fully primed surface and test the drybrushing motion on a spare part or scrap material to calibrate pressure and paint load. Clean brushes with water after use and store the bottle upright with the cap closed to maintain product quality.
