Paint VALLEJO Xpress Color - Bag of Bones (18 ml) - acrylic model paint

VALLEJO Xpress Color - Bag of Bones (18 ml) is an acrylic model paint formulated for hobbyists and scale modelers who need a ready-to-use opaque off-white tone for miniatures, models and props. Delivered in an 18 ml bottle, this paint from the Xpress Color range is prepared for immediate application without thinning for many brush tasks, while also being compatible with airbrushes when diluted. The formula emphasizes consistent coverage and fast drying to support layering and detail work on a variety of modelling surfaces.

Advantages

This acrylic paint provides good opacity and uniform coverage in thin to medium layers, reducing the number of coats required to reach full coverage. Fast drying time allows quicker handling between layers and speeds up overall painting workflows. The water-based formulation cleans easily with water while still offering durable adhesion to common modelling materials. The paint is supplied in a compact 18 ml bottle designed for controlled dispensing and convenient storage.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures and figures
• Basecoating scale models and props
• Brush techniques, including layering and drybrushing
• Airbrush application when appropriately thinned
• Touch-ups and detail work on plastic, resin and metal models

Key specifications

• Volume: 18 ml
• Type: water-based acrylic model paint
• Finish: opaque, matte to satin depending on layer thickness
• Application methods: brush and airbrush (airbrush requires thinning)
• Drying: quick drying suitable for layering

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure pigment uniformity. For brush application, the paint can be used straight from the bottle for basecoats or thinned slightly with water for smoother layering and blending. For airbrush use, dilute the paint with an appropriate acrylic thinner or water to achieve the desired viscosity and strain through a fine filter if necessary. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing each layer to dry before adding more to avoid lifting or pooling.

Usage recommendations

Use on clean, primed surfaces for best adhesion and consistent finish; test thinning ratios on a scrap surface when switching between brush and airbrush application. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and reseal tightly after use to maintain paint quality.
