Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 70.811 Blue Violet 17 ml

VALLEJO 70.811 Blue Violet is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint formulated for precise brush-on application on models, miniatures and hobby projects. This matt, opaque colour from the Model Color range offers high pigment concentration for consistent coverage and fast drying. The compact bottle features a precision dispenser for controlled dosing and easy thinning with water. Designed to adhere well to primed surfaces and compatible with common modelling materials, the paint produces a self-leveling, uniform film suitable for both broad areas and fine detail work.

Advantages

The Blue Violet acrylic provides strong colour depth with excellent opacity and fast drying properties. Its water-based formula allows straightforward thinning and cleanup while maintaining pigment stability and uniform coverage. The bottle dispenser gives precise control over the amount applied, reducing waste and facilitating mixing with other acrylics from the same range. The paint shows good adhesion to primed plastics, resin, metal and other standard modelling surfaces.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models, vehicles and aircraft

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use. Apply the paint with a suitable brush directly from the dispenser; thin with a small amount of water for washes, glazes or smoother application. For best results apply on a primed surface. Several thin layers give better coverage and control than a single thick coat. Allow each layer to dry before applying the next. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When mixing with other acrylics, test compatibility on a spare surface. Use primer appropriate to the material to ensure optimal adhesion and finish. Avoid applying in very high humidity or low temperature conditions to prevent extended drying times and surface defects.
