Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.998 Bronze, Metallic Finish, 17 ml Bottle

VALLEJO 70.998 Bronze is a 17 ml bottle of metallic-finish acrylic paint from the Model Color range, supplied with a convenient bottle dispenser for controlled brush application. This water-based, fast-drying formula offers high pigment concentration and a self-leveling, homogeneous film that performs well on resin, plastics, steel and white metal. Designed for model-making, miniatures and craft projects, the paint provides good coverage for both larger surfaces and fine detail work and can be thinned with water or acrylic mediums for glazing and layering techniques.

Advantages

The paint delivers a metallic bronze finish with intense pigment load while remaining water-based and easy to thin or mix. It dries rapidly to an even, matt-opaque film that resists cracking and adheres strongly to commonly used modelling substrates. The bottle dispenser allows controlled amounts for detail painting and reduces waste; brushes and tools clean up easily with water.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models of vehicles, aircraft and military figures
• Detailing miniatures and figure bases with metallic highlights
• Hobby and craft projects requiring a bronze metallic finish
• Layering, glazing and weathering techniques when thinned or mixed

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use and dispense a small amount onto a palette. Apply with a fine brush for details or a wider brush for larger surfaces. For smooth, even coverage use thin layers and allow each layer to dry before applying the next. Thin with water or a compatible acrylic medium to achieve glazes or softer transitions. It is recommended to prime the surface before painting to enhance adhesion and color fidelity. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Prime porous or smooth surfaces first. For best metallic effect, apply in multiple thin layers rather than a single heavy coat. When using for weathering, apply thinned glazes or dry-brushing to achieve subtle highlights. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place and keep the dispenser cap tightly closed to prevent drying between sessions.
