Paint Vallejo Ammo Oilbrusher Steel 10 ml – oil-based brushable wash for models

Vallejo Ammo Oilbrusher Steel is a 10 ml oil-based brushable wash formulated for scale models and miniatures. This Steel shade delivers a subtle metallic tone and controlled weathering when applied with a brush, allowing modelers to emphasize panel lines, recesses and metallic surfaces. The oil base gives a longer working time than acrylic washes, enabling smooth blending and accurate placement for realistic shading and streaking effects.

Advantages

The oil formulation offers extended open time for blending and feathering, while the brushable consistency makes it easy to apply precisely to details without thinning. Steel shade provides a metallic appearance suitable for metal parts and worn surfaces, and it can be layered over primers and painted finishes to add depth. The small 10 ml bottle is convenient for hobby use and storage, and it is compatible with standard brush techniques used in model painting and weathering.

Suitable for

• Adding shading to panel lines, rivets and recesses on scale models
• Creating metallic weathering and streaking effects on vehicles and machinery
• Detailing miniatures, figures and diorama elements where controlled washes are needed

Key specifications

• Volume: 10 ml
• Type: oil-based, brushable wash
• Finish: metallic / steel tone for weathering and shading
• Application: brush-applied for precise control and blending
• Compatibility: suitable for use over primers and painted surfaces after testing

How to use

Apply a small amount of the Oilbrusher Steel with a fine brush to panel lines, recesses or metallic surfaces. Work in thin layers and allow time for natural flow; use a clean brush or a soft cloth to remove excess while the oil is still workable to achieve the desired effect. For blending or softening transitions, wait briefly and then feather edges with a dry or slightly damp brush. Allow sufficient drying time before applying varnish or additional weathering layers.

Usage recommendations

Use in a well-ventilated area and avoid skin or eye contact. Test on a small area before full application to confirm compatibility with existing paints and primers. Store upright in a cool, dry place and cap tightly after use to preserve working properties.
