Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.978 — 17 ml, green, liquid art/craft paint

VALLEJO 70.978 is a 17 ml tube of green liquid acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniatures and craft projects. This water-based acrylic offers a matt, opaque finish with a high pigment concentration and is intended for brush-on application. It mixes readily with other water-based paints, dries quickly to a self-leveling homogeneous film and adheres well to primed surfaces including resin, plastics, metal and similar modelling substrates. The compact tube size is suited to small-surface work, touch-ups and detailed brushwork where control and color consistency are important.

Advantages

The paint provides strong pigmentation and an opaque matt finish that covers evenly and allows for layering without excessive build-up. Its fast drying time creates a uniform film that self-levels for smooth results on both larger areas and fine details. Because it is water-based, it mixes easily with other acrylics in the same system and tools can be cleaned with water. The formula exhibits good adhesion on resin, plastics, steel and white metal when applied over a suitable primer.

Suitable for

• Painting miniatures and figures
• Model kits (vehicles, planes, military models)
• Detail brushwork and layering techniques
• Small craft and hobby touch-ups

How to use

Apply the paint to a surface that has been properly primed for best adhesion. Shake or stir gently before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Use a suitable brush and apply thin layers for detailed work; allow each layer to dry before applying the next to build up opaque coverage or achieve gradual shading. For larger areas, dilute slightly with water or compatible medium to improve flow and leveling if required. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results on miniatures and models, prime the surface with a compatible primer, apply several thin coats rather than a single heavy layer, and allow full drying between coats. Store the tube tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid mixing with solvent-based paints.
