Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.800 Blue Bottle 17 ml, Gunmetal Blue, bottle dispenser

VALLEJO 70.800 Gunmetal Blue is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint supplied in a squeezable bottle dispenser for controlled, brush-on application. Part of the Model Color range, this matt, opaque blue offers high pigment concentration and rapid drying to form a self-leveling, uniform paint film. It is formulated for hobby painting of scale models, miniatures and military subjects, providing strong adherence to common modelling substrates including plastics, resin, metal and primed surfaces. The squeezable bottle and fine nozzle enable precise small-volume dosing for detailed work and layering.

Advantages

The paint delivers high pigment load and opaque coverage in a matt finish, allowing accurate colour reproduction and consistent results across fine details and larger surfaces. Its water-based formulation supports easy thinning and glazing for gradual build-up of tones, while drying quickly to a durable film. Excellent adhesion on resin, plastics, steel and white metal reduces the need for special primers on many projects. Brushes and tools clean up easily with water.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models (vehicles, aircraft, armor)
• Detailing miniatures and figures
• Hobby and diorama work requiring precise, small-volume application
• Layering, glazing and colour modulation techniques

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply directly from the nozzle onto the palette or brush for small amounts; the squeezable bottle allows controlled dosing. For thinner layers, dilute with water or a recommended acrylic medium to achieve the desired consistency for glazing or airbrushing. Allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent coats to build depth and avoid lifting. Clean brushes with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, apply VALLEJO Model Color over a properly primed surface. Use progressive thinning for glazing and detailed shading, and test on a scrap piece to determine drying time and opacity for your working conditions. Store the bottle capped in a cool, dry place to preserve paint quality.
