Paint Vallejo Black Lava-Asphalt — acrylic paint, black/grey, 1 pc (26214)

Vallejo Black Lava-Asphalt is an acrylic modelling paint in black/grey tones supplied as a single unit. Developed for scale models, miniatures and dioramas, it delivers homogeneous pigmentation and a satin-to-matte finish suitable for rendering asphalt, volcanic rock, worn tarmac and other dark surfaces. The formulation is compatible with brush and airbrush application and mixes easily with other acrylics and diorama effects for layered weathering and terrain work.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers stable color consistency and good coverage in dark shades, enabling precise detailing on small-scale surfaces. Its flow characteristics support both fine brush strokes and smooth airbrushing, while the fast-drying nature reduces handling time between layers. The tone is designed to blend naturally with weathering products such as dust, mud and wash effects to create realistic surface transitions in dioramas and vignettes.

Suitable for

• Painting asphalt surfaces on vehicle and diorama bases
• Creating lava or volcanic rock effects on scenic elements
• Adding worn or weathered tarmac and road textures
• Basecoating dark areas on miniatures and terrain pieces

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure even pigment distribution. For brush application, apply thin, even coats and allow adequate drying time between layers to avoid pooling. For airbrush use, thin the paint to the manufacturer’s recommended viscosity for your equipment and apply in light passes to build opacity gradually. Combine with other acrylics or diorama effects to achieve gradients, road wear and textural variation; test mixes on a scrap surface before applying to a finished model.

Usage recommendations

Use on primed surfaces for best adhesion. Clean tools and airbrushes immediately after use with water or an appropriate acrylic cleaner. When blending with weathering products, apply the Black Lava-Asphalt as a base tone, then layer dust, mud and wash effects to reproduce realistic terrain transitions and aged surfaces.
