Paint brush VALLEJO B06002 shader, synthetic bristles, single brush (1 pc)

VALLEJO B06002 shader is a synthetic-bristle paint brush designed for precise application of acrylic and model paints. Supplied as a single brush in blister packaging, this shader combines a compact shape and durable construction to support controlled strokes, edge work and detail painting on miniatures and scale models. The soft synthetic fibers and filbert-style tip provide good paint loading capacity and versatility for a range of painting techniques.

Advantages

The synthetic filbert tip balances flexibility and shape retention for consistent contact with the painted surface. Its soft fibers pick up and release acrylic paint evenly, making the brush suitable for washes, filters and basecoating small-to-medium areas. The compact handle and secure ferrule construction improve control during fine work and repetitive strokes.

Suitable for

• Applying washes and filters on miniatures and models
• Basecoating and covering small to medium areas
• Edge work and controlled stroke detailing
• General hobby and model painting tasks requiring precision

Key specifications

• Brush type: shader / filbert
• Bristle material: synthetic fibers
• Intended paint: acrylic and model paints
• Package type: single brush in blister pack
• Available sizes: 2, 4, 6, 8 (filbert/shader profile)

How to use

Dip the brush tip lightly into thinned or straight acrylic paint, wipe excess on the palette edge and apply with controlled strokes. Use the flat curved face of the filbert for broader coverage and the tip for defined lines or edges. Rinse the brush between colour changes to avoid contamination and reshape the bristles while damp to maintain its filbert profile.

Usage recommendations

For best results with washes and filters, load the brush with a moderate amount of thinned paint and drag gently across the surface to allow even flow. Clean with water and mild soap after use and store horizontally or bristle-up to preserve shape.
