Acrylic paint VALLEJO GA019 Blue 17 ml liquid paint

VALLEJO GA019 Blue 17 ml liquid paint is a water-based acrylic formulated for scale models, miniatures and hobby projects. Supplied in a 17 ml bottle, this blue shade is part of a matt, opaque range developed with model painters for brush-on work and compatible with airbrushing when thinned. The fast-drying formula creates a homogenous, self-leveling film that preserves fine details and offers strong adhesion to common modelling surfaces such as plastic, resin, metal and primed bases.

Advantages

This blue acrylic provides opaque coverage with a matt finish and dries rapidly to reduce handling time. Its water-based composition allows easy thinning for airbrush use and straightforward cleaning of brushes and tools with water. The special resin in the formulation increases resistance to wear from frequent handling, making it suitable for tabletop gaming miniatures and dioramas where durability matters. The paint retains surface detail due to its self-leveling properties and adheres reliably to a variety of modelling substrates when applied over a primer.

Suitable for

• Scale models and plastic kits
• Fantasy and tabletop gaming miniatures
• Dioramas and small scenery elements
• Detailing, touch-ups and colour matching on primed surfaces

How to use

Apply VALLEJO GA019 Blue onto a previously primed surface for best adhesion and colour fidelity. Stir or roll the bottle gently before use to homogenize the pigment. For brush application use undiluted or slightly thinned paint depending on the desired coverage; for airbrushing dilute with the appropriate thinner to a consistent flow. Allow successive thin layers to dry between coats to preserve fine details. Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Use a compatible primer before applying the paint to improve adhesion and colour uniformity. For miniature work apply multiple thin layers rather than one thick coat to maintain detail. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and reseal after use to prevent drying out.
