Acrylic Paint VALLEJO Xpress Color 72.452 Rotten Flesh 18 ml

VALLEJO Xpress Color 72.452 Rotten Flesh is an 18 ml water-based acrylic paint formulated for modelers and miniature painters. The ready-to-use consistency allows direct application from the bottle without thinning for brush work, while it is also suitable for airbrush use with minimal dilution. The fast-drying formula delivers good adhesion on common modeling substrates such as plastic, resin and metal and provides a uniform, controllable finish that supports layering and detail work.

Advantages

The paint offers consistent pigmentation and dependable coverage in a compact 18 ml bottle, enabling precise control for fine details and touch-ups. Its water-based composition ensures easy cleanup with water when wet, low odour during application and compatibility with most acrylic-based varnishes and mediums. Fast drying reduces waiting time between coats, while the formulation maintains stable colour and adhesion across multiple surfaces.

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigmentation. For brush application, apply directly from the bottle in thin coats to build coverage gradually; allow each coat to dry before adding further layers. For airbrushing, strain and thin the paint slightly with distilled water or a suitable acrylic thinner to achieve the desired viscosity, then apply in light passes to avoid pooling. Clean tools and airbrush components with water immediately after use while the paint is still wet.

Usage recommendations

Test compatibility on a scrap piece of the model material before full application. Use a primer appropriate to the substrate for improved adhesion and a clear acrylic varnish to protect the finished surface. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and tightly close the cap after use to preserve the paint's properties.
