Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.409 Purple 18 ml single bottle

VALLEJO 72.409 Purple is an 18 ml bottle of liquid acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniatures and general hobby painting. This water-based acrylic offers a pigmented violet tone intended for detailing, layering and color matching on plastic, metal, resin and primed surfaces. The paint is supplied as a single bottle and is suitable for both brush application and airbrushing after appropriate thinning.

Advantages

This Vallejo acrylic paint delivers a consistent pigment load and smooth flow, enabling fine detail work and uniform coverage in thin layers. Being water-based and fast-drying, it cleans up with water and reduces waiting time between coats. The formulation is compatible with common hobby primers and clear coats, and its bottle design allows controlled dispensing for mixing and touch-ups.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and miniatures
• Detailing and layering on resin and plastic parts
• Airbrushing when thinned for smooth base coats and glazing
• Hobby and craft projects requiring a purple/violet shade

Key specifications

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. For brush work, apply thin coats and allow each layer to dry before adding additional layers or details. For airbrushing, thin the paint with a compatible water-based thinner or Vallejo airbrush medium until the desired viscosity is reached and strain if necessary to avoid clogging. Clean tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Test the paint on a spare surface to determine coverage and required number of coats. Use thin layers to preserve fine details on miniatures and model parts. When airbrushing, follow recommended thinning ratios for your equipment and maintain the airbrush to prevent nozzle build-up. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and reseal after use to maintain paint quality.
