Acrylic Paint VALLEJO Game Color 72.114 Lustful Purple 18 ml

VALLEJO Game Color 72.114 Lustful Purple 18 ml is a professional acrylic paint designed for miniature painting, wargaming figures and scale models. The 18 ml bottle contains a richly pigmented, water-based formulation that provides smooth coverage and good adhesion on common modelling surfaces such as plastic, metal and resin. This paint is suitable for basecoats, layering, glazes and details where a vivid purple hue is required.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers strong pigmentation that reduces the number of coats needed to achieve solid colour. Its consistent viscosity and smooth flow make it easy to apply with both flat and detail brushes, while the water-based formula allows thinning with water or acrylic mediums without compromising adhesion. The paint dries to a durable matte-satin finish suitable for further washes and highlights.

Suitable for

• Basecoating miniatures, figures and scale models
• Layering and glazing techniques on plastic, metal and resin
• Detailing eyes, clothing, and accessories on wargaming miniatures
• Colour matching and custom palettes for fantasy and sci-fi models

When it may not be suitable

If you require an exact match to a printed colour chart or need a specialised effect such as metallic sheen or fluorescence, this opaque purple may not meet those specific needs without additional mediums or special-effect paints. Very thin single coats can be translucent; several thin layers may be necessary for fully opaque coverage on darker primers.

Key specifications

• Volume: 18 ml
• Type: Water-based acrylic
• Finish: Matte–satin
• Colour family: Purple
• Suitable surfaces: Plastic, metal, resin
• Application: Brush, airbrush when thinned appropriately

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. For brush application, use a clean brush and apply thin, even coats; allow each layer to dry before adding subsequent layers or highlights. For airbrushing, thin the paint with water or an acrylic thinner to achieve the desired viscosity and strain through a fine filter to avoid clogging. Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Check compatibility with your primer and any varnishes you plan to use.
• Consider buying multiple bottles if you need large areas of solid purple or frequent touch-ups.
• Plan for additional mediums if you need metallic, fluorescent or textured effects.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results on miniatures, prime with a light-coloured primer to preserve the vibrancy of Lustful Purple, apply thin multiple coats rather than a single thick coat, and seal finished work with an appropriate varnish once fully dry.
