Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.804 Beige (Red Bottle) 17 ml matte, bottle dispenser

VALLEJO 70.804 Beige (Red Bottle) 17 ml matte is a water-based acrylic paint formulated for accurate brush-on application in model making and miniature painting. The paint delivers a matt, opaque beige with high pigment concentration that creates a uniform, self-leveling film. It is suitable for layering, touch-ups and detailed work on primed surfaces, and adapts well to resin, plastic, metal and white-metal substrates. The bottle includes a built-in dispenser that enables controlled dispensing for small quantities and reduces waste.

Advantages

This acrylic offers consistent pigmentation and opacity in a compact 17 ml format, drying rapidly to a smooth matt finish. The formula is water-based and easy to thin and mix with other Model Color shades, enabling precise color matching and glazing. It adheres well to a range of modelling materials and cleans up with water, while the integrated dispenser supports accurate application and reduced spills.

Suitable for

• Brush painting of miniatures and figures
• Layering and detail work on scale models (vehicles, aircraft, military models)
• Touch-ups and small area corrections
• Mixing and custom color blending for historical and diorama projects

How to use

Apply the paint on a primed surface for best adhesion and true color. Shake the bottle before use and dispense a small amount using the built-in dispenser. For brush application, use directly or thin with water or an acrylic thinner to adjust flow. For airbrush use, thin gradually until the desired viscosity is reached and strain if necessary. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent layers or glazes. Store the bottle with the cap tightly closed to preserve consistency.

Usage recommendations

For precise miniature work, use thin successive layers rather than a single heavy coat to maintain detail and avoid obscuring fine sculpting. When blending colors or creating washes, mix small amounts on a palette and test on a scrap surface. Always prime surfaces suitable for the model material to improve adhesion and achieve uniform coverage.
