Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.051 Black 17 ml — liquid, solvent-free

VALLEJO 72.051 Black is a 17 ml bottle of water-based, solvent-free acrylic paint formulated for brush-on use in model making, miniatures, dioramas and craft projects. This liquid acrylic offers a matte, opaque finish designed to preserve fine sculpted detail while providing good adhesion to commonly used hobby materials such as plastic, resin, metal and primed surfaces. The fast-drying, self-leveling formula allows for layering and fine detail work while remaining compatible with water thinning and mixing with other acrylics.

Advantages

This solvent-free acrylic paint provides rapid drying and a homogenous film that preserves minute detail on miniatures and models. The formulation delivers strong adhesion across a range of substrates, easy intermixing with other acrylic colors and reliable performance under frequent handling thanks to a resin system developed in collaboration with model painters. Bottle size and flow make it convenient for precision work and touch-ups.

How to use

Apply VALLEJO 72.051 Black to a previously primed surface for optimal adhesion and uniform coverage. Shake or stir the bottle before use to ensure pigment is evenly distributed. Use a clean brush and, if necessary, thin the paint with water to control opacity and flow; avoid using solvents. Work in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next to build depth and maintain fine detail. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results on miniatures and models, prime the surface with a compatible primer, apply in multiple thin coats rather than a single thick coat, and allow adequate drying time between layers. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and reseal after use to preserve consistency.
