Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.997 Silver 17 ml Bottle Metallic Finish

VALLEJO 70.997 Silver is a 17 ml bottle of metallic-finish acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniatures and craft projects. Supplied in a dispensing bottle for controlled application, this opaque silver paint offers high pigment concentration in a water-based formula designed primarily for brush-on use. It provides good adhesion to primed surfaces and creates a uniform, self-leveling metallic film suitable for both larger areas and fine detail work on plastic, resin and metal models.

Advantages

This metallic acrylic delivers opaque silver coverage with a consistent, self-leveling finish. The water-based formula contains a high pigment load for strong colour intensity and is compatible with standard acrylic thinning mediums. It adheres well to primed substrates including plastics, resin and metal and dries rapidly to a homogenous paint film. Supplied in a dispensing bottle, it allows precise application and easy handling for small-scale and detailed work.

How to use

Apply VALLEJO 70.997 to a surface that has been properly primed for best adhesion. Shake the bottle before use and dispense a small amount onto a palette or directly onto the model. Use a suitable brush for controlled, even strokes; thin with compatible acrylic mediums if necessary to adjust flow or transparency. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent coats to achieve an even metallic finish. Clean brushes and tools with water after use.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results on scale models and miniatures, prime the surface with an appropriate primer, apply thin successive coats rather than a single heavy coat, and use compatible acrylic mediums for thinning and glazing. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and reseal after use to preserve the paint’s properties.
