Acrylic Airbrush Paint VALLEJO Game Air Sombre Grey 18 ml

VALLEJO Game Air Sombre Grey 18 ml is a water-based acrylic paint pre-thinned for airbrush use. Designed as part of the Game Air range, this low-viscosity paint provides consistent flow and coverage for basecoating, layering and delicate detailing on miniatures, scale models and wargaming figures. Fast-drying and formulated for controlled spray application, it blends with other acrylic paints and reduces the need for additional thinning when used in standard airbrush setups.

Advantages

Sombre Grey delivers smooth atomisation and fine droplet control thanks to its pre-thinned consistency, allowing even coverage with minimal clogging. Its water-based formula dries quickly to a durable matte finish and is compatible with other acrylics, enabling seamless blending and overcoating. The 18 ml bottle size is convenient for hobbyists and model painters who need a compact, easy-to-store paint container for repeated airbrush sessions.

Suitable for

• Basecoating miniatures and wargaming figures

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment suspension. For most single-action or gravity-feed airbrushes this pre-thinned paint can be used directly; if necessary, adjust flow with small amounts of water or manufacturer-recommended airbrush thinner to match your setup and nozzle size. Apply thin, even passes at moderate air pressure, allowing short drying intervals between layers to build up color and avoid pooling. Clean the airbrush thoroughly after use with water or an appropriate cleaner to maintain nozzle performance.

Usage recommendations

Use moderate air pressure (typically 15–30 psi / 1–2 bar depending on your airbrush and nozzle) for controlled atomisation. Test spray on a scrap surface before applying to models to confirm flow and coverage. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and cap tightly after each use to preserve paint quality.
