Acrylic Paint VALLEJO Model Color Light Blue Green 18 ml

VALLEJO Model Color Light Blue Green 18 ml is an acrylic, water-based hobby paint formulated for painting scale models and miniatures. Supplied in a convenient 18 ml bottle, the paint features fine pigment concentration and a formulation that offers smooth brush strokes and good coverage. It is designed for use on common modelling substrates such as plastic, resin and metal, and can be thinned for airbrushing or used straight from the bottle for detailed brushwork.

Advantages

This Light Blue Green paint delivers consistent colour with even opacity and minimal brush marks. Its water-based acrylic formula dries to a stable, non-tacky finish suitable for layering, glazing and weathering techniques. The paint is compatible with standard hobby primers and varnishes and cleans up easily with water when wet, making it practical for both beginners and experienced modelers.

Suitable for

How to use

Stir the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. For brush application, apply thin, even coats and allow each layer to dry before adding subsequent layers to avoid gloss or pooling. For airbrushing, thin the paint with the manufacturer-recommended thinner or water to the appropriate viscosity and strain before loading the airbrush. Use a primer suitable for the substrate to improve adhesion and colour fidelity. After painting, protect the finish with an appropriate varnish once the paint is fully dry.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle upright in a cool, frost-free place and reseal tightly after use. Test compatibility with primers and varnishes on a scrap piece before full application. Allow sufficient drying time between layers for best results and follow safety guidance regarding ventilation when airbrushing.
