Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.099 Beige (17 ml) – artist/model paint, solvent-free

VALLEJO 72.099 Beige is a water-based, matt and opaque acrylic paint supplied in a 17 ml bottle and formulated for brush-on use by artists and model-makers. Developed with input from miniature painters, this solvent-free Game Color paint offers stable pigmentation, rapid drying and a self-leveling finish that preserves fine detail on primed surfaces. The formulation includes a durable resin that increases resistance to wear from frequent handling and provides strong adhesion to substrates such as resin, plastic, metal and steel. Tools clean up with water.

Advantages

The paint is solvent-free and non-flammable, delivering consistent coverage and easy thinning with water. Its matt, opaque finish hides underlying layers while retaining surface detail, and the fast-drying formula creates a uniform film that is resistant to handling thanks to a specially developed resin. It adheres well to common modelling materials including resin, plastic, steel and white metal.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures for tabletop gaming
• Detailing and layering on scale models and dioramas
• Brush or airbrush techniques after appropriate thinning
• Craft projects that require a matt beige tone

When it may not be suitable

This product is optimized for use on previously primed surfaces; adhesion and finish quality may be reduced if applied directly to unprimed or oily substrates. For large-area coverage or projects requiring very rapid build-up, a different formulation (such as a higher-opacity or faster-build acrylic) might be more efficient.

Key specifications

How to use

Shake the bottle before use. Apply the paint to a clean, primed surface using a brush or airbrush after thinning with water if required. Apply thin, even coats to preserve surface detail; allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Requires a primed surface for optimal adhesion and finish
• 17 ml volume is suited for detail work and miniature painting rather than large-area coverage
• Non-flammable and solvent-free formulation
• Intended primarily for brush application; airbrush use requires thinning

Usage recommendations

For best results on miniatures, apply several thin layers of Vallejo 72.099 Beige over an even primer, allow full drying between coats, and finish with appropriate varnish if additional protection is needed for frequently handled pieces.
