## Summary description

VALLEJO Chipping Fluid (35 ml) is a specialized paint effects fluid formulated to create realistic scratches and chipping on scale models and miniatures.

Suitable for hobbyists seeking authentic aging and weathering effects.

## Long description

VALLEJO Chipping Fluid — Scratches Effects, 35 ml is a water-based specialty medium designed to produce realistic chipping and scratch effects on scale models, miniatures and diorama elements. Applied between layers of paint, this fluid enables controlled removal of topcoats to expose the underlying base color, simulating natural wear and abrasion on vehicles, armor, metalwork and painted surfaces. The 35 ml bottle offers sufficient volume for multiple projects and is compatible with acrylic and enamels when used according to standard chipping techniques.
Advantages
The formulation dries to a tacky film that facilitates precise chipping with brushes, toothpicks or other tools, allowing gradual and controlled reveal of base layers without damaging the substrate. Because it is specifically produced for scale modelling, the fluid integrates with typical modelling workflows and is easy to apply with a small brush. Its water-based nature simplifies cleanup of accidental spills before drying, while providing predictable behavior between coats for repeatable results.
Suitable for
Weathering vehicle models (cars, tanks, trucks) to simulate paint loss and scratches
Adding wear effects to aircraft and naval models
Creating chipped paint on miniatures and figures
Detailing diorama elements such as metal fences, machinery and signage
Key specifications
Volume: 35 ml bottle
Medium type: water-based chipping fluid for paint separation
Compatibility: works with acrylic and enamel topcoats when used correctly
Application: applied between paint layers to enable controlled removal of topcoat
Drying behavior: forms a tacky film suitable for mechanical chipping
How to use
Apply a thin, even layer of the chipping fluid over a fully dried base coat. Allow the fluid to dry until it forms a tacky surface, then spray or brush on the chosen topcoat. Once the topcoat has dried to the desired degree (often semi-dry for more controlled effects), use a damp brush, cotton swab or toothpick to rub and lift the topcoat, revealing the base color beneath. Work gradually and test on a scrap piece to determine drying times and the level of topcoat adhesion appropriate for the desired effect.
Usage recommendations
For consistent results, perform trials on spare parts to adapt drying time and tool pressure. Use minimal solvent or water to avoid disturbing surrounding paint layers. Store the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Observe manufacturer safety advice and ventilate the workspace during application of topcoats and solvents.
