Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 72.088 Blue Bottle 17 ml Matte Finish

VALLEJO 72.088 Blue Bottle 17 ml Matte Finish is a water-based acrylic paint formulated for brush-on application in modelling, miniature painting and detailed hobby work. Supplied in a dropper-style bottle for precise dosing, this matte blue paint dries quickly to a uniform, opaque film that preserves fine details. The formulation offers enhanced resistance to handling and abrasion, adheres to primed resin, plastic, metal and other common modelling surfaces, and can be thinned or cleaned up with water.

Advantages

This acrylic paint provides consistent matte coverage with excellent opacity and self-leveling properties that preserve delicate sculpted details. The dropper bottle enables controlled dispensing to avoid waste and facilitate mixing on palettes. Fast drying and water-based composition make it convenient for layering and for cleanup without solvents. Its composition has been optimized for durability on miniatures that undergo frequent handling.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures and tabletop gaming figures

How to use

Apply on a previously primed surface for best adhesion and color fidelity. Shake the bottle before use and dispense a small amount onto a palette or mixing surface. Use a fine brush for detail areas and apply thin, even layers to preserve sculpted detail; allow each layer to dry before applying the next. If needed, thin the paint with a small amount of water to improve flow and achieve glazing or smoother layering. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results on miniatures, prime with a compatible primer and apply 1–3 thin coats rather than a single thick coat. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place and avoid freezing to maintain paint consistency.
