Acrylic paint set VALLEJO 71.176 — 17 ml bottles: Black, Blue, Brass, Copper, Gold, Silver

VALLEJO 71.176 is a compact set of water-based acrylic model paints supplied in 17 ml dispenser bottles. The kit includes a mix of standard and metallic shades — Black, Blue, Brass, Copper, Gold and Silver — formulated for use with brushes and airbrushes on scale models, miniatures, figures and diorama elements. Paints come in eyedropper-style bottles for controlled dispensing and the set is packaged in a small box with a reference color chart for easy storage and transport.

Advantages

The Vallejo acrylic formulation offers good pigment concentration and consistent flow for both hand and airbrushing applications. Metallic and non-metallic tones are balanced to provide reliable coverage and blendability on plastic, resin and metal model surfaces. The 17 ml dispenser bottles permit precise dosing, reduce waste and simplify mixing of custom shades. The included color chart helps to quickly identify and compare colors during preparation and painting.

How to use

Shake each bottle well before use to ensure even pigment distribution. For brush application, thin as necessary with water or a compatible acrylic thinner to achieve desired flow and opacity. For airbrushing, strain and thin the paint to the appropriate viscosity for your system using a recommended acrylic thinner; test spray on a scrap surface before painting the model. Apply thin, even coats and allow adequate drying time between layers to avoid lifting or pooling. Use a suitable primer for best adhesion on smooth or non-porous parts.

Usage recommendations

Store bottles upright in a cool, dust-free place and reseal caps after each use to prolong shelf life. When working with metallic tones, apply a smooth primer and use multiple light coats for an even metallic finish. Clean brushes and airbrush components promptly with water or a dedicated acrylic cleaner to prevent clogging and preserve tool performance.
