Water-based paint VALLEJO 77.720 Grey 32 ml

VALLEJO 77.720 Grey 32 ml is a water-based liquid paint designed for model making, miniatures and precise hobby painting. Supplied in a 32 ml bottle, the solvent-free formula is suitable for brush application and can be used with an airbrush when thinned. The paint provides consistent grey coverage with easy cleaning using water, and its formulation preserves fine model detail while offering good workability for layering, washes and small-area corrections.

Advantages

This water-based grey paint is solvent-free and formulated for precision work on models and miniatures. It can be applied with a brush or airbrush (after thinning) and dries quickly, maintaining fine surface detail. The product cleans up with water, reducing the need for harsh solvents, and its consistency supports a range of painting techniques from basecoating to detailing.

Suitable for

• Model aircraft, vehicles and military miniatures
• Figure painting and small-scale dioramas
• Hobby projects requiring precise brushwork or airbrush application

Key specifications

• Volume: 32 ml
• Formula: solvent-free
• Application methods: brush or airbrush (airbrush may require thinning)
• Drying: fast-drying, preserves fine details

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. For brush application use directly from the bottle or adjust consistency with a small amount of water for thinner layers. For airbrush application thin the paint with an appropriate water-based thinner or airbrush flow improver until the desired viscosity is reached and follow the manufacturer’s recommended compressor settings (approximately 15–20 psi/0.5–1 kg). Apply multiple thin coats for even coverage and allow adequate drying time between layers. Clean brushes and airbrush equipment with water or a dedicated water-based cleaner after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results on aircraft models and metallic finishes, consider priming with a gloss black primer to enhance shading and aluminium-like tones. Allow at least 12 hours of cure time before applying paint masks. When using an airbrush, maintain regular cleaning with a suitable airbrush cleaner to prevent clogging and preserve nozzle performance.
