Acrylic paint VALLEJO 72.423 Black, 18 ml, liquid

VALLEJO 72.423 Black is an 18 ml liquid acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniature painting and hobby craft. Supplied in a squeezable bottle, this black acrylic provides an even, opaque finish suitable for basecoating, shading and fine detail work. The consistency is designed for brush application and can be thinned for airbrush use, allowing controlled layering and blending on plastic, resin and metal model surfaces.

Advantages

The squeezable 18 ml bottle enables precise dispensing and minimal waste, while the formulation supports layering and fine detail without excessive brush drag. When thinned correctly, the paint flows smoothly through airbrushes, expanding its usability across different painting techniques.

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure even pigment distribution. For brush application, dispense a small amount onto a palette and apply thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding additional coats to achieve the desired opacity. For airbrush use, thin the paint with an appropriate acrylic thinner or water to the viscosity recommended by your airbrush manufacturer and strain if necessary to avoid clogging. Clean brushes and airbrush components promptly after use with water or an acrylic cleaner.

Usage recommendations

Use on surfaces that are clean and properly primed for best adhesion; test thinning ratios on a scrap surface to match spray conditions; store the bottle tightly closed away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures to preserve paint quality.
