Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 69.507 Red 17 ml – liquid solvent-free art/craft paint

VALLEJO 69.507 Red 17 ml is a solvent-free liquid acrylic paint formulated for art, craft and model-making applications where a water-based, low-odor red is required. This 17 ml tube contains a concentrated pigment formulation with a satin finish developed for brushing and airbrushing after appropriate thinning. The new Mecha Color formula offers improved adhesion and mechanical resistance so dried coatings remain impact- and abrasion-resistant while preserving fine surface detail.

Advantages

This Vallejo acrylic delivers good pigment concentration for consistent coverage and easy color mixing. The solvent-free, water-based formulation reduces odor and flammability concerns while providing a satin appearance when dry. The advanced Mecha Color composition enhances adhesion to difficult surfaces and increases resistance to handling, friction and scratches. The paint can be applied with brush or airbrush and is compatible with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver for optimal spray performance.

Suitable for

• Model painting and detailing on plastic model kits
• Airbrushing small to medium scale surfaces after thinning
• Brush application for fine detail work and touch-ups
• Hobby and craft projects requiring a satin red finish

Key specifications

• Color: Red (satin finish)
• Volume: 17 ml
• Base: Water-based acrylic (solvent-free)
• Application methods: Brush, airbrush (requires thinning for airbrushing)
• Drying: Forms a hard, mechanically resistant coating when dry
• Compatibility: Can be thinned with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver; cleaned with Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner
• Recommended airbrush pressure: approx. 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg)

How to use

Apply on a clean, primed surface for best adhesion. For brush application use straight from the tube or slightly thinned with water or Flow Improver to improve flow. For airbrushing, thin with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver to the desired viscosity and set the compressor to roughly 15–20 PSI (0.5–1 kg). Apply in several thin layers rather than a single thick coat, allowing a few hours drying time between layers to form a uniform, durable finish. Follow the manufacturer’s safety data and handling instructions.

Usage recommendations

Not flammable and solvent-free; use in a well-ventilated area. For best results on models and other surfaces exposed to handling, apply multiple thin coats over an appropriate primer and allow full drying between layers. Refer to certified safety information on the manufacturer’s safety page.
