Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 70.540 — Matt Medium, 17 ml, matte finish

VALLEJO 70.540 — Matt Medium is a 17 ml dispenser bottle of acrylic medium designed to modify and improve acrylic paints without altering their original color tone. This medium increases paint fluidity and transparency, extends working time, and reduces the visibility of brush strokes to achieve a subdued, non-reflective matte finish. It is water-based, compatible with acrylic model paints and suitable for mixing with pigments or using as a binder for dry pigment applications.

Advantages

Matt Medium enhances the flexibility and adhesion of acrylic colors while preventing yellowing or tonal shifts. It improves blending by softening brush marks and increases transparency to produce layered effects. The dispenser-style bottle enables controlled dosing for precise mixing ratios and touch-up work, making it practical for model painting, miniatures and other small-scale hobby applications.

Suitable for

• Model painting and scale miniatures
• Hobby crafts and dioramas
• Mixing with acrylic paints to extend and thin colors
• Using as a binder for dry pigments and weathering effects
• Touch-up work requiring a matte, non-reflective finish

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use. Add small amounts of Matt Medium to acrylic paint on a palette and mix until homogeneous to increase transparency and flow. For glazing or layered effects, incorporate higher ratios of medium to paint. When using as a binder for dry pigments, mix pigment with a minimal amount of medium until the desired consistency is reached. Apply with brush or airbrush depending on the dilution and effect required. Allow sufficient drying time between layers.

Usage recommendations

Test mixing ratios on a scrap surface to determine the desired level of transparency and flow. Use the dispenser tip to add the medium incrementally and avoid over-thinning. Clean tools with water immediately after use. Store upright in a cool, dry place with the cap closed to maintain product quality.
