Acrylic paint VALLEJO 69.061 Copper in 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO acrylic paint 69.061 Copper in a 17 ml bottle is a water-based metallic acrylic formulated for model making, miniatures, crafts and touch-ups. Supplied with a precision dispenser, this Copper shade offers a satin metallic finish with high adhesion and improved resistance to impact, friction and handling when applied over a primed surface. The new Mecha-style formulation preserves fine surface details while producing a durable, uniform coating suitable for airbrushing and brush application; it is compatible with other acrylics and varnishes for layering and finishing.

Advantages

This Copper acrylic features a satin metallic look that retains original model detail and resists scratches and wear. The advanced formulation ensures better adhesion on difficult surfaces and forms a strong, impact-resistant film once dry. It is supplied in a convenient 17 ml bottle with a precision dispenser for accurate dosing. The paint thins readily with water and can be further adjusted for airbrushing with dedicated thinners or flow improvers.

Suitable for

• Scale models and miniatures requiring metallic copper effects
• Airbrushing and brush painting on primed plastics and resins
• Craft projects and decorative touch-ups with a satin metallic finish
• Layering and weathering workflows combined with acrylic varnishes

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use and dispense a small amount through the precision tip. For brush application use directly or slightly thinned with water. For airbrushing, dilute with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to achieve the desired viscosity; typical compressor settings are in the 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg/cm²) range. Apply several thin layers on a previously primed surface, allowing a few hours of drying between coats to build a uniform, durable film while preserving surface detail.

Usage recommendations

Use on well-prepared, primed surfaces for optimal adhesion and durability. For airbrush work, maintain the nozzle and clean regularly with an appropriate airbrush cleaner. When layering or sealing, choose compatible acrylic varnishes and allow full drying time between layers to prevent lifting or uneven finish.
