Acrylic Paint VALLEJO Xpress Color Zombie Flesh 18 ml

VALLEJO Xpress Color Zombie Flesh 18 ml is an acrylic paint formulated for hobbyists and miniature painters who need a ready-to-use, fast-drying flesh tone. Supplied in an 18 ml bottle with a controlled applicator, this paint is part of the Xpress Color line and is developed to provide even coverage and smooth finish on plastic, resin and metal miniatures. The color is tailored for undead and pale-skin effects, offering a consistent base for further detailing, washes or highlights.

Advantages

The formulation delivers quick drying times and good opacity in thin layers, reducing preparation steps before detailing. It is water-based and designed to adhere well to common modelling substrates without the need for aggressive thinning. The paint’s consistency allows for both broad basecoating and fine detail work while maintaining stable pigmentation for reproducible results across multiple miniatures.

Suitable for

• Basecoating plastic, resin and metal miniatures
• Creating pale skin and undead/zombie effects on figures
• Layering and basic shading techniques for small-scale models
• Quick touch-ups and on-the-go hobby work

Key specifications

• Type: water-based acrylic
• Finish: matte to satin depending on application and topcoat
• Drying behavior: fast-drying at typical room temperature
• Compatibility: suitable for plastic, resin and metal surfaces

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply directly from the bottle for quick coverage or dilute slightly with water or an acrylic medium for thinner glazes and smoother blends. Use a fine brush for detailed areas and broader brushes for basecoats. Allow each thin layer to dry before applying subsequent layers, washes or highlights to avoid lifting previous paint.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prime miniatures with a suitable primer compatible with acrylic paints, and finish with a protective varnish after painting. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and recap the bottle tightly to preserve consistency. When blending skin tones or creating weathering effects, work in thin layers and build colour gradually.
