Acrylic paint VALLEJO 69.011 Red 17 ml — liquid, solvent-free

VALLEJO 69.011 Red is a 17 ml tube of liquid, solvent-free acrylic paint formulated for modelling, miniature painting, airbrushing and general art and craft projects. The new Mecha formula delivers a satin finish with improved impact and abrasion resistance while preserving fine surface detail. This red acrylic is water-thinnable, compatible with acrylic primers and mediums, and suitable for layering, detail work and weathering techniques when applied over a properly prepared surface.

Advantages

The paint features an advanced binder system that improves adhesion to difficult surfaces and increases resistance to friction, scratches and rough handling. It dries to a durable satin coat that retains the appearance of original plastic surfaces and maintains small details. The solvent-free, water-thinnable formulation allows easy cleaning and mixing with other acrylic-based products and special thinners designed for airbrushing.

Suitable for

• Model kits and plastic miniatures
• Airbrushing and brush painting
• Detailing, layering and color matching
• Aging and weathering effects

Key specifications

• Volume: 17 ml
• Type: Liquid acrylic, solvent-free
• Finish: Satin
• Compatibility: Water-thinnable; compatible with acrylic primers, mediums and varnishes
• Surface performance: High impact and abrasion resistance once dry
• Application methods: Airbrush or brush

How to use

Apply over a clean, primed surface. For airbrushing, the paint can be used directly or diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to achieve the desired viscosity. Recommended compressor pressure for airbrushing is approximately 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). For brush application, use thin, even coats and allow a few hours between layers so the coating can form a homogeneous, resistant film. Drying times depend on ambient temperature and humidity.

Usage recommendations

To maximize adhesion and durability, prime plastic models before applying this acrylic. For best airbrush performance and maintenance, use Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for dilution and Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner for cleaning. Apply several thin layers rather than a single thick coat to preserve surface detail and achieve uniform coverage.
