Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.145 Grey, 17 ml, solvent-free

VALLEJO 72.145 Grey is a solvent-free acrylic paint supplied in a 17 ml dropper bottle, formulated for brush-on use in modelling, miniatures, dioramas and fine craftwork. This water-based, matt and opaque colour offers a liquid consistency that promotes smooth application and self-leveling coverage while preserving fine detail on primed surfaces. The paint is designed to adhere well to common modelling substrates such as resin, plastic, metal and primed surfaces, dries rapidly and can be thinned and cleaned with water.

Advantages

This solvent-free acrylic provides an opaque, matt finish with good flow for controlled brushwork and layering. The formulation includes a durable resin system that increases resistance to handling and wear typical of tabletop miniatures. Fast drying and self-leveling properties reduce brush marks and help maintain fine sculpted details. Being water-based, it allows easy dilution with water for washes or glazes and simple cleanup of brushes and tools.

Suitable for

• Brush painting of fantasy and tabletop miniatures
• Model kits, dioramas and scale figures
• Fine detail work, layering and touch-ups on primed surfaces
• Craft projects requiring a matt, opaque grey

How to use

Apply VALLEJO 72.145 Grey on a previously primed and dry surface for optimal adhesion and uniform coverage. Shake the bottle gently before use. Use a fine brush for detail work or a larger brush for base coats; the liquid consistency allows controlled strokes and layering. Thin with small amounts of water if a smoother wash or glaze is required. Allow layers to dry between coats to preserve surface detail and avoid overworking the paint.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prime models with a compatible primer and apply thin, multiple coats rather than a single thick coat. Clean brushes with water immediately after use. Store the bottle capped and in a cool, dry place to prolong shelf life and maintain paint consistency.
