Acrylic paint VALLEJO Game Color 72.113 Deep Magenta 18 ml

VALLEJO Game Color 72.113 Deep Magenta is an acrylic model paint supplied in an 18 ml bottle in a fluid formulation designed for hobbyists and miniature painters. The color provides a rich, opaque magenta tone suitable for basecoating, layering and detail work on plastic, resin and metal miniatures. The paint is water-based, compatible with common acrylic thinning and mixing techniques and formulated to work with hobby brushes and airbrushes when properly thinned.

Advantages

This Deep Magenta offers high pigment concentration for strong color coverage and smooth application. The liquid consistency enables fine detail work and even layers without excessive brush strokes. The acrylic formula dries to a durable finish that responds well to washes, glazes and varnishes, and it mixes predictably with other water-based acrylics to expand the palette.

Suitable for

• Basecoating and layering on miniatures and wargaming figures
• Detail painting on plastic, resin and metal model kits
• Color mixing and custom shades for hobby projects
• Airbrushing when diluted with appropriate acrylic thinner or medium

When it may not be suitable

This paint is intended for hobby and model use and is not formulated for large-area house painting or industrial coatings. Very porous or untreated surfaces may require a primer to ensure proper adhesion and color fidelity. If a matte, satin or gloss finish other than the paint's natural finish is required, use a compatible varnish.

Key specifications

• Type: Water-based acrylic model paint
• Color family: Magenta / deep magenta
• Finish: Opaque pigment coverage (paint's natural finish)
• Volume: 18 ml
• Application: Brush or airbrush when thinned
• Compatibility: Mixable with other water-based acrylics and compatible mediums

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. For brushing, apply directly from the bottle for thin coverage or thin slightly with water or an acrylic medium to improve flow and reduce brush marks. For airbrushing, dilute with a compatible acrylic thinner or medium following the airbrush manufacturer's recommendations. Allow adequate drying time between layers and apply a primer to bare or porous substrates to improve adhesion and color accuracy. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the color tone (Deep Magenta) fits your project palette
• Check the 18 ml volume is sufficient for the scale of your work
• Ensure compatibility with primers, thinners and varnishes you plan to use
• Consider additional surface preparation for plastic, resin or metal models

Usage recommendations

For consistent results when painting miniatures, prime the model with a neutral or matching primer, thin the paint incrementally for smooth layers, and build color through several thin coats rather than a single thick coat. Finish with compatible washes or varnishes to protect the paint and achieve the desired sheen.
