Vallejo 69.065 acrylic paint 17 ml Grey Bottle

Vallejo 69.065 acrylic paint in a 17 ml bottle is a professional acrylic formulation in the Dark Steel (Grey) shade designed for modelling and airbrushing. The paint has a satin finish and a new Mecha formula that provides improved adhesion and mechanical resistance on a variety of surfaces. It can be used straight from the bottle, thinned for airbrushing, or applied by brush; once dry the coating preserves fine surface detail while delivering extra impact and abrasion resistance.

Advantages

The Mecha formulation delivers strong adhesion and a satin surface that closely matches original plastic parts. The paint is extra resistant to impact, friction and scratches, and maintains original detail without clogging small features. It offers compatibility with airbrushing when diluted with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver, and can be cleaned from airbrushes using Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner. The low-volume 17 ml bottle provides controlled dispensing for precise application.

Suitable for

• Scale models and plastic miniatures requiring a satin Dark Steel grey
• Airbrushing on parts exposed to handling, friction or impact
• Applying base coats and special effects where detail retention is important

Key specifications

• Colour: Dark Steel (Grey)
• Volume: 17 ml
• Finish: Satin
• Product form: Bottle dispenser
• Application methods: Airbrush (thinned) or brush

How to use

Shake the bottle before use. For airbrushing, dilute the paint with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired viscosity and apply using a compressor set to approximately 15–20 PSI. Multiple thin layers are recommended on a previously primed surface; allow a few hours between coats to achieve a homogeneous, strong finish. For brush application use the paint directly from the bottle or slightly thinned for smoother flow. Clean equipment after use with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner or an appropriate cleaner.

Usage recommendations

Apply Mecha colours over a compatible primer and build up several thin layers for maximum durability and detail retention. Maintain airbrush cleanliness with dedicated cleaner, and store the bottle tightly closed away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
