Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.160 Turquoise 18 ml - single bottle

VALLEJO 72.160 Turquoise is an 18 ml bottle of liquid acrylic paint formulated for scale modeling, miniatures, and general hobby and craft painting. The water-based acrylic composition provides consistent coverage and color stability for fine detail work, layering and color mixing. The compact single-bottle format is suitable for individual projects or to complement a larger paint set when a specific turquoise shade is required.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers smooth brush application and can be thinned for airbrush use, providing versatility between hand-painting and spray techniques. The water-based formula dries to a stable finish with good adhesion on common modeling materials such as plastic, resin and metal when surfaces are prepared correctly. The 18 ml bottle design facilitates precise dispensing for controlled application and mixing small quantities to achieve custom shades.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and vehicle kits
• Miniature figures and tabletop gaming miniatures
• Detailing and weathering on dioramas and scenery
• Hobby crafts, decorative objects and small DIY projects

Key specifications

• Color: Turquoise
• Volume: 18 ml
• Type: Water-based acrylic
• Finish: Matte to satin depending on thinning and layers
• Application: Brush-ready; can be thinned for airbrush use
• Suitable substrates: Plastic, resin, metal, and primed surfaces

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply directly with a fine brush for detail work; for larger areas use multiple thin layers rather than a single thick coat to avoid loss of detail. If airbrushing, thin the paint with the manufacturer-recommended thinner or water to achieve the appropriate viscosity and strain through a fine filter to remove particulates. Allow each layer to dry fully before applying subsequent coats or varnish.

Usage recommendations

Prepare surfaces by cleaning and priming suitable substrates to improve adhesion. Test thinning ratios on a spare surface to adjust spray or brush behavior. Store the bottle tightly closed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain color and consistency.
