VALLEJO 72.050 Grey is a solvent-free acrylic hobby and model paint supplied in a 17 ml bottle. Formulated for brush and airbrush application, this water-based grey paint is suitable for scale models, miniatures, dioramas and general craft projects. The matt, opaque formula dries rapidly to a self-leveling film that preserves fine detail while providing durable pigmentation and good adhesion to primed surfaces and common modelling substrates.
Advantages
This Vallejo acrylic paint offers a solvent-free, non-flammable formulation that is easy to thin with water and straightforward to clean up. The matt, opaque finish and fast-drying behavior allow for layering, detailing and washes without excessive waiting times. The formulation provides strong adhesion on primed plastic, resin, metal and other typical modelling materials, and the consistency is optimized for brush work while also being suitable for airbrush use.
Suitable for
- Scale model painting (vehicles, aircraft, ships)
- Miniatures for tabletop and wargaming
- Dioramas and terrain detailing
- Craft projects and hobby applications requiring matt grey

How to use
Apply Vallejo 72.050 Grey on a previously primed surface for best adhesion and colour fidelity. Stir or shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. For brush application use undiluted or thin with a small amount of water to achieve smoother flow; for airbrushing, thin gradually with water to the desired viscosity and test on a scrap surface. Allow layers to dry between coats; the paint dries quickly and forms an even film that retains fine detail. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.
Usage recommendations
Use a suitable primer recommended for the substrate to improve adhesion and long-term resistance. When preparing washes or glazes, dilute this grey with water or a dedicated acrylic medium rather than solvents. Store the bottle tightly closed, upright and in a cool, frost-free place to maintain consistency and pigment stability.
