Acrylic paint VALLEJO 69.515 Grey 17 ml – craft & model paint

VALLEJO 69.515 Grey 17 ml is a water-based acrylic paint formulated for models, miniatures and craft projects. Packaged in a single 17 ml bottle, this grey shade is part of VALLEJO's Mecha Color line featuring a satin finish and a new formula designed to deliver strong adhesion and impact resistance on a variety of surfaces. The solvent-free liquid allows consistent coverage, preserves fine details on plastic models and can be applied by airbrush or brush for layering, fine detail work and general hobby use.

Advantages

The Mecha Color formula provides exceptional adherence even on difficult surfaces and increased resistance to impact, friction and scratches once dry. The satin finish retains the original look of the model’s plastic while keeping small details clearly visible. This water-based paint is non-flammable and solvent-free, offers easy thinning with water, and is suitable for both airbrushing and brush application. It dries to a homogeneous, durable coating when applied in several thin layers over a primed surface.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and plastic miniatures
• Airbrushing and brush-applied hobby painting
• Layering, detail painting and weathering base coats
• Craft projects that require a satin grey finish with good adhesion

How to use

Apply Mecha Color on a previously primed surface for best results. For airbrushing, thin the paint as needed with water, Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Flow Improver and set compressor pressure in the recommended range (approximately 15–20 PSI). For brush application use thin, even coats and allow a few hours of drying time between layers. Multiple thin layers produce a stronger, more uniform film and preserve fine details of the model. Clean tools and airbrush components after use with a compatible airbrush cleaner.

Usage recommendations

For optimal adhesion and durability, prime the surface before applying Mecha Color and apply several thin coats rather than a single heavy coat. When airbrushing, maintain compressor pressure around 15–20 PSI and use Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner for maintenance. Consult official safety information for handling details.
