VALLEJO 72.013 Squid Pink is a water-based acrylic paint supplied in a 17 ml bottle with a dispenser tip, formulated for brush-on use by modelers and miniature painters. This matt, opaque color is part of the Game Color range developed with model-painters to preserve fine details on figures and dioramas while providing improved resistance to handling. The paint dries quickly to a homogenous, self-leveling film, adheres well to primed surfaces and common modelling materials, and can be thinned for airbrush application or used straight from the bottle for fine detail work.
Advantages
Squid Pink offers a matt, opaque coverage that holds surface detail and resists wear from frequent handling, thanks to a resin-enhanced formulation. The water-based composition is non-flammable and solvent-free, allows easy brush application and cleaning with water, and dries rapidly to a uniform finish. The dispenser bottle enables controlled application and minimal waste when painting small areas or mixing colors.

- Painting miniatures and tabletop gaming figures

How to use
Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment. For brush application apply thin, even layers on a previously primed surface, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next to maintain detail. For airbrushing, thin the paint gradually until it reaches the desired viscosity and strain before loading the airbrush. Use the dispenser tip for controlled application to small areas and fine details. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.
Usage recommendations
Apply on a primer compatible with acrylic paints for optimal adhesion and durability. Test thinning ratios on a scrap piece before airbrushing to avoid clogging. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refer to the product safety information for handling and storage guidance.
