VALLEJO 72.053 Silver 17 ml is a solvent-free, water-based acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniature painting and hobby craft projects. Supplied in a 17 ml bottle, this metallic silver tone offers high pigmentation in a brush-on acrylic designed to preserve fine detail on primed surfaces. The water-based formulation dries quickly to a self-leveling film, provides good adherence to common modeling substrates such as plastic, resin and metal, and allows layering, blending and precise detail work. Tools clean up easily with water; the product is non-flammable and free of solvents.
Advantages
This Vallejo silver acrylic combines metallic pigmentation with a solvent-free, water-based formula that is suitable for repeated handling and tabletop use. The paint dries rapidly into a homogeneous, self-leveling film that preserves miniature detail while offering strong adhesion to typical modeling materials. Its brush-on consistency supports layering, shading and fine detailing, and the small 17 ml bottle is convenient for hobbyists and model painters who require control over supply and waste.

How to use
Apply Vallejo 72.053 Silver onto a previously primed surface for optimal adhesion and color performance. Shake or stir the bottle before use to ensure uniform metallic pigmentation. Use a suitable synthetic or sable brush for brush-on application; apply thin layers to preserve surface detail and allow each layer to dry before adding further glazing, blending or highlights. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. For tabletop miniatures, apply a protective varnish after painting if frequent handling is expected.
Usage recommendations
For best results, work in thin layers and allow full drying between coats. Test compatibility with primers and varnishes on a spare part before finishing a final piece. Store the bottle upright, tightly closed and protected from extreme temperatures to preserve paint quality.
