Vallejo GA005 Acrylic paint 17 ml 1 pc(s)

Vallejo GA005 Acrylic paint 17 ml is a water-based, matt and opaque acrylic formulated for brush application on miniatures and dioramas. Developed with model painters who specialise in fantasy figures, this Game Color paint offers fast drying, a self-leveling finish and high detail retention. The formulation includes a durable resin to improve resistance to wear from frequent handling; for best results apply over a primed surface. Suitable for use on common modelling materials such as resin, plastic, metal and steel. Cleaning of brushes and tools is done with water.

Advantages

The paint provides a matt, opaque coverage with fast drying and excellent self-leveling that preserves fine sculpted details. Its specially developed resin improves durability against handling while maintaining adherence to a wide range of modelling substrates. The product is brush-ready and cleans up easily with water.

Suitable for

• Painting fantasy miniatures and tabletop game figures
• Dioramas and small-scale scenic elements
• Touch-ups and detailed brush work on resin, plastic, white metal and steel models

When it may not be suitable

This acrylic is designed primarily for brush application and may not be ideal for airbrushing without prior thinning or testing. It is intended for use over a primed surface; applying directly to bare materials may reduce adhesion and longevity. The matt, opaque finish may not suit projects that require glossy or transparent coatings.

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use. Apply Game Color over a properly primed miniature to ensure optimal adhesion and durability. Use thin layers for even coverage and allow each layer to dry before applying the next to preserve detail. For finer control, dilute slightly with water or a compatible medium; clean brushes with water after painting.

What to consider before purchase

• Requires a primed surface for best adhesion and wear resistance
• Designed for brush application; thinning may be needed for airbrush use
• Matt, opaque finish may not be suitable if a glossy effect is desired

Usage recommendations

For durable results on tabletop miniatures, apply Vallejo Game Color over a good primer, build colour in thin layers, and allow full drying between coats; maintain brushes by cleaning with water immediately after use.
