Acrylic paint VALLEJO 69.013 — Blue, 17 ml, liquid solvent-free craft paint

VALLEJO 69.013 — Blue is a 17 ml liquid acrylic craft paint formulated for model making, miniatures and other hobby applications. The solvent-free composition provides a satin finish and is designed to deliver precise brush application, smooth layering and reliable adhesion on primed plastic, metal and other porous substrates. This version belongs to VALLEJO's new Mecha Color family, featuring improved impact and abrasion resistance while preserving fine surface detail after drying.

Advantages

The paint offers a satin appearance with enhanced resistance to impact, friction and scratches. Its advanced formulation ensures exceptional adhesion on difficult surfaces and maintains the original model texture and fine details once dry. The fluid consistency allows for accurate detail work, layering and small repairs, and it can be used both with a brush and with an airbrush when diluted correctly.

Suitable for

• Painting plastic model kits and scale miniatures
• Detailing and touch-ups on metal and porous surfaces
• Airbrushing layered color effects and weathering when thinned
• Hobby crafts requiring a satin finish and durable coating

Key specifications

• Color: Blue (satin finish)
• Volume: 17 ml (single bottle)
• Type: Liquid acrylic, solvent-free
• Finish: Satin, extra resistant and impact proof
• Application: Brush or airbrush (airbrush dilution recommended)
• Drying behavior: Forms a homogenous, hard coating after drying

How to use

Apply the paint to a previously primed surface for best adhesion and durability. For brush application, work in thin, even layers allowing a few hours of drying between coats to build a homogenous, strong finish. For airbrushing, thin with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and set compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg/cm²). Clean tools and airbrush components after use with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner or an appropriate cleaner compatible with acrylics.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, apply Mecha Color in several thin layers over a compatible primer; allow adequate drying time between coats. When airbrushing, test dilution ratios and pressure on a spare surface to achieve the desired coverage and detail. Store the bottle upright and shake before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution.
