Acrylic spray paint VALLEJO 28.011 Grey 400 ml, matte finish

VALLEJO 28.011 Grey 400 ml is an acrylic spray paint in a matte grey tone formulated for hobbyists, modelers and miniature painters. The aerosol provides uniform coverage and a self-levelling matt finish that preserves fine surface details. Designed for use on plastic, resin, primed metal and wood, this 400 ml spray is suitable as a base coat, for touch-ups and for covering large areas where a durable, even matte grey layer is required. The product is part of VALLEJO's Hobby Paint Spray range and matches corresponding shades in the Game and Model Color ranges for combined painting techniques.

Advantages

The formula offers high pigment concentration and good hiding power while remaining low-pressure for accurate spray control. A self-levelling acrylic formulation delivers a consistent matte finish that highlights model details instead of obscuring them. The can includes two interchangeable nozzles—one for fine lines and small details, and one for broader coverage—allowing controlled application for both precision work and larger surfaces. Suitable for indoor model work and hobby projects, it adheres well to primed surfaces and dries to a durable, touch-resistant coat.

Suitable for

• Base coats on plastic and resin miniatures
• Primed metal and wooden model parts
• Large-area painting and uniform matte coverage
• Touch-ups and pre-shading for further detailing

How to use

Shake the can thoroughly for at least one minute after the mixing ball starts to rattle to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply on clean, dry and primed surfaces, keeping the can 20–30 cm from the workpiece. Use short, even passes and build up thin layers rather than a single heavy coat to avoid runs and to preserve detail. Allow adequate drying time between coats. For fine detail or thin lines, attach the low-discharge nozzle; switch to the medium-discharge nozzle for faster coverage of larger areas. Work in a well-ventilated area and follow general spray-paint safety precautions.

Usage recommendations

Store upright in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Test spray on a scrap piece or inconspicuous area to confirm color match and spray pattern before applying to the final model. For best adhesion and finish, use on properly primed surfaces and consider a complementary varnish (gloss, satin or matt) from the same range to protect the painted surface during handling.
