Acrylic Paint VALLEJO Xpress Color Wicked Purple 18 ml - 72.456

VALLEJO Xpress Color Wicked Purple 18 ml is a water-based acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniatures and hobby painting. This vivid purple shade delivers strong pigmentation in a compact 18 ml bottle, offering a versatile colour for detailing, layering and blending. The formulation is suitable for brush application and can be thinned for airbrush use, providing consistent flow and coverage on plastic, metal and resin surfaces commonly used in scale models and figures.

Advantages

The paint provides high pigmentation and good covering power in a small, easy-to-handle bottle. Its water-based acrylic formula dries to a durable, matte finish compatible with common hobby surfaces. Xpress Color Wicked Purple is formulated for quick application and clean-up with water, and it mixes well with other acrylics in the same range to extend tonal variation. The product is suitable for both fine detail work and larger surface coverage when used with appropriate thinning for airbrushes.

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. For brush application, apply thin layers and allow each layer to dry before adding further coats to achieve even coverage and depth. For airbrush use, thin the paint gradually with appropriate acrylic thinner or water to reach desired viscosity, strain if necessary to avoid nozzle clogging, and test spray on scrap material before applying to the model. Clean tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When mixing with other paints, perform a compatibility check on a small test area. For best results on miniatures, prime the surface first with a compatible primer and apply multiple thin layers rather than a single thick coat.
