Hobby gloss medium VALLEJO 60 ml — additive for model paints, gloss finish

VALLEJO Gloss Medium 60 ml is a liquid additive for acrylic model paints designed to increase gloss, improve flow and enhance leveling when painting miniatures, scale models and small parts. Packaged in a plastic bottle for controlled dispensing, this gloss medium mixes with acrylic hobby paints to raise sheen without altering color tonality or causing yellowing. It also increases transparency and flexibility, helps blend brushstrokes and can act as a binder for dry pigments.

Advantages

The gloss medium extends paint, increasing fluidity and transparency while maintaining original color tone. It improves adhesion and flexibility of the paint film and softens visible brushstrokes for smoother transitions. Because it does not yellow, it is suitable for long-term use on detailed work. The product is supplied in a 60 ml plastic bottle that allows precise addition to paint mixes and controlled application on small surfaces.

Suitable for

• Adding gloss finish to scale models and miniatures
• Varnishing small parts and details
• Improving paint flow and leveling during airbrushing or brushwork
• Mixing with dry pigments as a binder
• Weathering and glazing techniques that require increased transparency

How to use

Add small amounts of the gloss medium to acrylic model paint and mix thoroughly until homogeneous. Adjust the ratio to achieve the desired level of gloss and flow; test on a spare surface before applying to the model. Apply the mixture with a brush or airbrush as appropriate, allowing adequate drying time between layers. For varnishing small parts, apply thin even coats to avoid runs and pooling. When used as a binder for dry pigment, mix the pigment into the medium until a workable paste is formed and apply as required.

Usage recommendations

Use progressively increasing amounts to find the optimal balance between gloss and paint body; excessive addition may overly thin the paint. Work in a well-ventilated area and clean tools with water before the medium dries. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
