Paint - VALLEJO Game Air Midnight Purple 18 ml (model 76.116)

VALLEJO Game Air Midnight Purple 18 ml is an airbrush-ready acrylic paint formulated for hobbyists and modelers who require smooth, controllable application and dependable pigment coverage. Supplied in an 18 ml bottle, this paint is designed to work with airbrush systems but can also be used with fine brushes for layering and detail work. The Midnight Purple shade provides a deep, cool purple tone suitable for a range of miniature, figure, and model surfaces when consistent flow and even coverage are needed.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers airbrush-ready viscosity for immediate use without additional thinning, ensuring consistent atomization and reduced clogging in most gravity- or siphon-feed airbrushes. The formulation delivers reliable pigmentation and opacity for efficient basecoating and layering, while retaining good adhesion to typical hobby substrates such as plastic, resin, and primed metal. The 18 ml format is compact for storage and portable for onsite hobby sessions.

• Airbrushing basecoats and gradients on miniatures and scale models

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure pigment is evenly suspended. For airbrush application, test flow and atomization on scrap material; the paint is formulated for immediate use but light thinning with distilled water or manufacturer-recommended thinner may be applied for very fine atomization. Clean the airbrush reservoir and nozzle after each session to prevent buildup. For brushwork, apply thin, controlled coats and allow each layer to dry before adding further detail or highlights.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate primer compatible with acrylic paints to improve adhesion and color fidelity. Work in a well-ventilated area and follow airbrush maintenance best practices, including regular nozzle cleaning. Seal finished surfaces with a compatible varnish to protect the paint and adjust the final sheen.
