Acrylic Paint VALLEJO Xpress Color Demonic Skin 18 ml – 72.458

VALLEJO Xpress Color Demonic Skin 18 ml (ref. 72.458) is an acrylic model paint formulated for quick, ready-to-use application on miniatures, figures and hobby models. Supplied in an 18 ml bottle, this pigmented paint is part of the Xpress Color range and is designed for use with brush or airbrush. It dries to a stable finish suitable for basecoats, layering and detail work on plastic, resin and metal surfaces. The color is tailored for skin-tones with a demonic or fantasy appearance, providing consistent coverage in a single-coat or when thinned for glazing and shading techniques.

Advantages

VALLEJO Xpress Color offers a factory-mixed, ready-to-use consistency that eliminates the need for pre-thinning for many applications while remaining compatible with airbrush when reduced. The formulation provides good pigment load for uniform coverage and fast drying to a stable surface that accepts subsequent layers and washes. It is formulated for adhesion on common modelling substrates such as plastic, resin and metal, and its controlled viscosity supports both basecoating and fine detail work.

Suitable for

• Basecoating miniatures and figures with a demonic or fantasy skin tone
• Layering and detail painting on plastic, resin and metal models
• Airbrush application after light thinning or direct brush application
• Hobby projects requiring stable, fast-drying acrylic color

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure pigment is evenly dispersed. For brush application, apply directly from the bottle or load the brush with a small amount for controlled coverage; multiple thin coats give the best even finish. For airbrush, thin the paint gradually with an appropriate acrylic thinner or water until the desired spray consistency is reached, strain if necessary, and test spray before working on the model. Allow adequate drying time between layers and apply washes or highlights after the basecoat has set.

Usage recommendations

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use appropriate ventilation when airbrushing and clean tools with water or an acrylic-compatible cleaner after use. Test compatibility with primers and varnishes on a sample surface before applying to finished models.
