Acrylic paint VALLEJO 69.037 Grey 17 ml — liquid solvent-free art/craft paint

VALLEJO 69.037 Grey in a 17 ml tube is a solvent-free liquid acrylic paint formulated for detailed art and craft work. Designed for model-making, miniatures, canvas and a variety of craft surfaces, this grey shade offers a satin finish and a formulation intended to adhere strongly and resist impact and abrasion once dry. The paint is versatile for brushwork and airbrushing, and it mixes readily with other acrylics for blending and layering.

Advantages

This Mecha Color formula delivers exceptional adhesion to difficult surfaces and increased resistance to handling, impact, friction and scratches. The satin finish preserves fine model detail and provides a uniform surface appearance similar to original plastics. The solvent-free composition reduces flammability and odor, while compatibility with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner and Flow Improver enables controlled thinning for airbrushing. Suitable for both brush and airbrush application, it dries to a strong, homogenous coating after layered application.

Suitable for

• Detail painting on scale models and miniatures
• Base coats and colour layering on plastic, resin and metal models
• Airbrushing and brush application for craft projects
• Weathering and aging techniques when combined with appropriate washes and varnishes

How to use

Shake the tube before use and apply on a clean, primed surface for best results. For airbrushing, dilute with an acrylic airbrush thinner or flow improver to the desired consistency and use compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg/cm²) as a guideline. Apply several thin layers rather than a single thick coat; allow a few hours of drying between layers so the paint forms a uniform, durable film. The product may also be applied directly by brush for fine detail and touch-ups.

Usage recommendations

Work on a well-ventilated area and follow the manufacturer’s safety guidance. Use compatible primers and varnishes from the same product family for optimal adhesion and protection. Clean airbrushes and brushes with an appropriate acrylic cleaner after use to maintain equipment performance.
