Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.093 red 17 ml

VALLEJO acrylic paint 72.093 red 17 ml is a solvent-free, water-based matt acrylic formulated for brush-on model painting and fine-detail work. Supplied in a 17 ml bottle, this red tone provides consistent pigment density and smooth application suitable for miniatures, dioramas and scale models. The Game Color formulation is designed to dry rapidly, self-level and retain fine surface detail while offering improved resistance to wear from frequent handling. It adheres well to primed surfaces including resin, plastic, metal and painted bases; brushes and tools clean easily with water.

Advantages

This red acrylic offers a matt, opaque finish with stable pigment concentration for predictable coverage. The solvent-free, water-based formula reduces odor and flammability concerns and enables easy cleanup. Its self-leveling properties preserve fine sculpted details on miniatures and the specially developed resin in the Game Color line increases durability against handling and tabletop use. Rapid drying minimizes waiting time between layers and the paint is compatible with standard primers and common modeling materials.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures and figurines for tabletop gaming
• Detailing scale models and dioramas
• Brush and, when thinned appropriately, airbrush applications
• Hobby craft projects requiring a matt, opaque red

How to use

Apply on a previously primed surface for optimal adhesion and color performance. Stir or shake the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Use directly from the bottle for brush work; for airbrushing, thin the paint according to the airbrush manufacturer’s recommendations using appropriate thinners or water to reach the desired viscosity. Apply multiple thin layers rather than one heavy coat to preserve surface detail and achieve uniform coverage. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Usage recommendations

Store the paint in a cool, dry place and reseal the bottle tightly after use to prevent skin formation. Test compatibility with primers and varnishes on a small area before large-scale application. Clean tools with water immediately after use. Consult certified safety information for complete handling and storage instructions.
