Vallejo 28.012 Spray paint 400 ml 1 pc(s)

Vallejo 28.012 is a 400 ml spray combining a base coat and a highly pigmented black color formulated for use on metal, plastic and resin models and miniatures. The low-pressure, self-levelling spray delivers a matte finish that preserves fine surface details and is compatible with Vallejo Game and Model Color ranges. The can includes two nozzles for fine and medium flow and the range is completed by gloss, matte and satin varnishes for additional protection and uniform appearance.

Advantages

The product integrates primer and color in one application, reducing preparation steps. Its original low-pressure formula provides even coverage with a matt, self-levelling finish that maintains crisp details. Two supplied nozzles allow controlled application for both small details and larger surfaces, and the color matches corresponding Vallejo paint ranges for easy mixing and layering.

Suitable for

• Painting metal, plastic and resin model kits
• Airbrushing-free base coating of miniatures and figures
• Applying a uniform black matte base before detailed painting

When it may not be suitable

This spray is designed primarily as a primer and base color; it may not replace specific specialty primers (e.g., adhesion primers for difficult plastics or chemical etchings) in every case. For very small indoor areas or delicate surfaces where overspray cannot be controlled, a brush or airbrush with mask protection may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Type: spray paint with integrated primer and color
• Color: black (matte finish)
• Volume: 400 ml
• Formulation: low-pressure, self-levelling liquid spray
• Includes: two nozzles (low flow and medium flow)
• Recommended complementary products: gloss, matte and satin varnishes

How to use

Shake the can vigorously before use and attach the preferred nozzle for the required flow. Spray at a consistent distance (typically 20–30 cm) with light overlapping passes to build thin, even coats. Allow layers to dry fully between passes. Use in a well-ventilated area and protect surrounding surfaces from overspray. After use, invert the can and spray briefly to clear the nozzle.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure compatibility with the model material (metal, plastic, resin)
• Plan workspace ventilation and overspray protection
• Decide which nozzle flow (fine or medium) suits your intended application

Usage recommendations

Use the low-flow nozzle for fine details and edges, and the medium-flow nozzle for base coats and larger areas. Combine this Vallejo 28.012 black spray with matching Vallejo Game or Model Color paints for layered painting and detailing, and finish with a suitable varnish to protect the surface.
