Acrylic Paint VALLEJO Xpress Color Intense Dreadnought Yellow 18 ml

VALLEJO Xpress Color Intense Dreadnought Yellow 18 ml is a concentrated acrylic paint formulated for quick drying and precise application. Supplied in a small squeezable tube, this paint allows controlled dispensing for fine detail work, layering and touch-ups on models and miniatures. The formula adheres well to plastic and resin when applied over an appropriate primer and delivers a vivid yellow tone designed for hobbyists and model makers seeking consistent color and coverage.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers fast drying time and intense pigmentation in a compact 18 ml tube for accurate control during application. The concentration of pigment provides good coverage with fewer thin layers, while the creamy consistency supports both thin glazing and thicker brush strokes. The solvent system is water-based, facilitating easy thinning and cleanup with water when wet.

Suitable for

• Painting plastic model kits and scale figures
• Detail work on miniatures and tabletop gaming figures
• Touch-ups and small repair painting on resin and primed surfaces
• Layering, glazing and fine highlights in hobby projects

Key specifications

• Volume: 18 ml tube
• Type: Acrylic, water-based
• Finish: Opaque, vivid yellow tone
• Drying: Fast-drying under normal room conditions
• Suitable substrates: Plastic, resin and primed surfaces

How to use

Ensure the substrate is clean, dry and primed if necessary. Squeeze a small amount of paint from the tube onto a palette and thin with water or an acrylic medium if a smoother flow or transparent glaze is required. Apply in thin layers for even coverage, allowing each layer to dry before adding subsequent coats. For fine details, use a small pointed brush and controlled dispensing to avoid excess paint build-up. Clean brushes with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Store the tube capped and upright to preserve consistency. For best adhesion and color fidelity, use over an appropriate primer and test on a spare piece of the same material. Avoid direct exposure to freezing temperatures and prolonged sunlight to maintain paint quality.
