Vallejo Magic Blue Acrylic paint 17 ml 1 pc(s)

Vallejo Magic Blue is a matt, opaque acrylic paint in a water-based formula, supplied in a 17 ml bottle and formulated for brush application on miniatures and dioramas. Developed in collaboration with model painters, the Game Color range is intended for frequently handled tabletop figures and includes a resilient resin in the formulation to improve resistance to wear. The paint dries quickly to a self-leveling film that preserves fine details and adheres well to primed surfaces including plastic, resin, metal and steel. Tools and brushes are cleaned with water.

Advantages

This Magic Blue acrylic offers matt, opaque coverage with fast drying and excellent detail retention. Its water-based formulation makes thinning and cleanup easy, while the specialised resin enhances durability against handling. The product provides good adhesion on a variety of miniature materials when applied over a primer.

Suitable for

• Painting fantasy and tabletop miniatures
• Detail work on dioramas and scale models
• Brush-on base coats and layering
• Hobby projects requiring durable, matt blue paint

When it may not be suitable

Magic Blue is designed primarily for brush application on primed miniatures; it may not be ideal for airbrushing without prior thinning and testing. Also, for projects that require high-gloss or transparent blue effects, this matt, opaque product will not produce those finishes without additional mediums or varnishes.

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use and apply on a previously primed surface. Use a suitable brush and, if required, thin the paint with water or an appropriate acrylic thinner to reach desired flow for layering or glazing. Apply thin coats to preserve details; allow each coat to dry before adding further layers. Clean brushes and tools with water after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Requires a primed surface for optimal adhesion and durability
• Matte and opaque finish — not suitable if a glossy or transparent effect is needed
• Designed for brush application; airbrush use may require thinning

Usage recommendations

For durable results on gaming miniatures, apply Vallejo Magic Blue over an appropriate primer in thin layers, allowing full drying between coats; finish with a protective varnish if the model will be heavily handled.
