Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 72.020 Imperial Blue 17 ml

VALLEJO 72.020 Imperial Blue 17 ml is a water-based acrylic paint formulated for hobby, model and miniature painting. Supplied in a 17 ml bottle with a dispenser cap, Imperial Blue offers a matt, opaque finish with concentrated pigment for precise brush-on application. The Game Color range is developed with a resin formula that improves resistance to handling and provides good adhesion to primed surfaces including plastic, resin, metal and other common modelling materials. The paint dries quickly to a self-leveling film that preserves fine details and can be thinned or mixed with other acrylics for layering and color adjustments.

Advantages

Imperial Blue delivers a matt, opaque coverage with strong pigmentation in a compact bottle designed for controlled dispensing. Its water-based formulation allows easy thinning and mixing with other acrylics while remaining compatible with primed surfaces. The resin-enhanced formula increases durability against wear from handling, and the fast-drying, self-leveling properties retain miniature details. Cleaning brushes and tools is possible with water, simplifying post-painting maintenance.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures and tabletop figures
• Detailing and layering on scale models and dioramas
• Mixing with other acrylics to achieve custom shades
• Touch-ups and small-area painting on primed plastic, resin or metal parts

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to homogenize the pigment. Apply VALLEJO Imperial Blue on a previously primed surface using a fine brush for details or a broader brush for larger areas. Thin with water or a compatible acrylic thinner to achieve translucent glazes or smoother layers; multiple thin coats provide better control and preserve surface detail. Allow adequate drying time between layers. Store the bottle tightly closed after use to prevent drying out.

Usage recommendations

For best results, apply Game Color paints over an appropriate primer and use thin layers to build up color. Test mixing ratios on a palette before applying to a miniature. Clean brushes promptly with water to maintain brush shape and prolong tool life.
