Paint, VALLEJO Game Air Stonewall Grey 18 ml

VALLEJO Game Air Stonewall Grey 18 ml is an acrylic airbrush paint formulated for miniature and model painting. Supplied in an 18 ml dropper bottle, this paint is designed to deliver even pigmentation and controlled flow for use with airbrushes on plastic, resin and metal miniatures. The formulation supports basecoating, layering and fine detail work, and dries quickly to a matte finish that responds well to subsequent washes and highlights.

Advantages

This Stonewall Grey paint offers consistent atomisation and reliable colour coverage with minimal clogging when used with a properly maintained airbrush. Its fast drying time reduces waiting between coats, while the acrylic formulation allows easy thinning, blending and cleanup with water. The small 18 ml format is convenient for hobbyists, providing enough volume for multiple miniatures while limiting waste during colour rotation.

Suitable for

• Airbrushing basecoats on plastic, resin and metal miniatures
• Layering and glazing for scale models and figures
• Achieving even mid-tone greys for military and sci-fi miniatures
• Detail work after thinning for controlled spray and fine gradients

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment suspension. For airbrush application, thin the paint as needed with water or a compatible acrylic thinner to achieve the desired viscosity for your airbrush and nozzle size. Test spray on a surface or palette to set pressure and flow, then apply thin, even passes to build up colour. Allow each thin layer to dry before applying additional coats, washes or highlights. Clean the airbrush thoroughly after use to prevent buildup.

Usage recommendations

Use at moderate air pressure (typically 15–25 psi / 1.0–1.7 bar depending on the airbrush) and thin incrementally until the spray pattern is stable. Store upright in a cool, dry place and cap tightly after use. When working on highly detailed miniatures, apply several thin coats rather than a single heavy coat to preserve surface detail.
