VALLEJO 80.253 — 8×8 ml multi-colour art/craft paint is a compact set of eight water-based acrylics formulated for model making, miniature painting and small-scale hobby or mixed-media projects.

How to use

Shake each bottle well before use to ensure pigments are evenly suspended. Apply directly from the bottle for fine details or transfer paint to a palette to mix and thin with water as required. Use thin layers to build colour gradually and allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent coats. Washes can be applied over base colours to enhance shadows and surface texture; remove excess wash with a clean brush or sponge while still wet for desired effects. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results on miniatures and models, prime the surface before painting and use a matte or satin varnish to protect finished work. Store bottles upright in a cool, dry place and keep caps tightly closed to preserve consistency.
