Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.802 — Red, 17 ml liquid model paint

VALLEJO 70.802 — Red is a 17 ml liquid acrylic model paint formulated for fine-detail work on miniatures, scale models and craft projects. Part of the Model Color range, this matt, opaque red offers high pigment concentration in a water-based formula designed primarily for brush application but suitable for airbrush when thinned. The paint dries rapidly to a self-leveling, homogeneous film with good coverage and excellent adhesion to resin, plastics, metal and other common modelling substrates.

Advantages

This acrylic paint provides strong, even pigmentation and a matt finish that is appropriate for both large areas and the finest details. Its water-based composition allows easy thinning for airbrushing and simple cleanup of tools and brushes with water. The formulation delivers fast drying, good flow and self-leveling properties that reduce visible brushstrokes while maintaining control for delicate work.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures and figures with fine detail
• Touch-ups and small-area corrections on scale models
• Brush-on base coats and layered painting techniques
• Airbrushing when thinned for smooth, even coats
• Craft projects on resin, plastic, metal and similar surfaces

Key specifications

• Volume: 17 ml liquid acrylic
• Finish: Matt, opaque
• Base: Water-based acrylic
• Application: Brush-oriented; compatible with airbrush when diluted
• Drying: Rapid drying, self-leveling film formation
• Adhesion: Strong adhesion to resin, plastics, steel and white metal
• Cleanup: Tools and brushes clean with water

How to use

Before painting, apply an appropriate primer to ensure uniform adhesion and color fidelity. Shake the bottle or stir the paint to ensure even pigment distribution. For brush application use directly from the bottle or adjust viscosity with small amounts of water or acrylic thinner to improve flow. For airbrushing, thin progressively until the desired spray viscosity is achieved and strain if necessary. Apply in thin, even coats allowing each layer to dry before adding additional layers or details.

Usage recommendations

Use on primed surfaces for best results. Store upright and tightly closed, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Test compatibility on scrap material if working over unusual substrates or previously painted surfaces. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.
