Acrylic paint VALLEJO 69.068 Metallic Green 17 ml bottle

VALLEJO 69.068 Metallic Green is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint supplied in a small plastic bottle with a precision dispenser. Part of the Mecha/airbrush-oriented range, this Metallic Green formulation delivers a satin metallic effect designed for model-making, miniatures, hobby painting and spot touch-ups. The paint is suitable for both brush application and airbrushing when thinned appropriately and is formulated to adhere well to primed surfaces while preserving fine detail.

Advantages

The new formula provides a satin finish with increased resistance to impact, friction and handling. An advanced binder improves adhesion on difficult surfaces and helps the dried coating retain the original look of the model plastic while keeping the smallest details visible. The product is versatile for layering and compatible with Vallejo airbrush thinners and flow improvers for controlled atomization and smoother coverage.

Suitable for

• Model kits and scale miniatures
• Figure painting and hobby detailing
• Airbrush and brush applications (when thinned for airbrush)
• Touch-ups and small-area metallic effects

Key specifications

• Volume: 17 ml
• Finish: Satin metallic
• Base: Water-based acrylic
• Color family: Metallic green
• Packaging: Plastic bottle with dispenser for controlled dispensing
• Suitable application methods: Brush and airbrush (requires thinning for airbrush)

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure even distribution of metallic pigments. For brush application, apply thin, even coats and allow a few hours to dry between layers to build up opacity and strength. For airbrushing, dilute with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the appropriate viscosity and set compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg/cm²) for best results. Clean airbrush equipment after use with a recommended airbrush cleaner.

Usage recommendations

Apply over a compatible primer and use several thin layers rather than a single thick coat to achieve a uniform metallic satin surface with improved durability. When airbrushing, test dilution and pressure on a scrap piece before working on the model. Maintain tools with an appropriate cleaner to prevent clogging and preserve metallic effect.
