Acrylic paint VALLEJO VA26703, 60 ml bottle, for plastic, min. drying 24 h

VALLEJO VA26703 acrylic paint comes in a 60 ml bottle with a dispenser and is formulated for application on plastic and similar modelling materials. The water-based formula offers even coverage and is suitable for hobbyists and scale modelers who need a bottle that dispenses controlled amounts of paint. The paint requires a minimum drying time of 24 hours under normal ambient conditions and can be thinned with compatible acrylic mediums or water for airbrushing and fine detail work.

Advantages

The product delivers consistent pigmentation and reliable flow from a bottle dispenser, facilitating precise application on small parts and miniatures. Its water-based acrylic composition minimizes solvent odor compared with solvent-based paints, and it adheres well to plastic when surfaces are prepared correctly. The 60 ml format provides a larger supply for frequent use while remaining portable for hobby work.

How to use

Before painting, clean and degrease plastic surfaces and remove any mould release agents. Shake the bottle thoroughly to homogenize the pigment. Apply thin layers and allow paint to dry between coats; multiple thin coats give better coverage than a single thick coat. For airbrushing, thin the paint with an acrylic medium or water to the manufacturer’s recommended viscosity and strain if necessary to avoid clogging. Clean tools and brushes immediately after use with water and mild detergent.

Usage recommendations

For optimal adhesion on plastic, consider a light sanding with fine-grit paper and use a suitable plastic primer before applying the acrylic. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and tightly close the dispenser after each use to prevent skin formation and maintain paint quality.
