Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.861 — Black, Gloss Finish, 17 ml Bottle

VALLEJO 70.861 is a 17 ml acrylic paint in a dispensing bottle, colour Black with a gloss finish. Part of VALLEJO's Model Color family, this water-based acrylic delivers high pigment concentration and a self-leveling, uniform paint film suitable for model making, miniatures, crafts and small touch-ups. The gloss black tone is formulated for brush-on application from a bottle dispenser, dries quickly for layering and detail work, and provides reliable adherence to primed surfaces including plastics, resin, metal and other common modeling substrates.

Advantages

This gloss black acrylic offers a high pigment load for strong coverage in thin layers and consistent colour across large surfaces and fine details. Its water-based formula enables easy thinning and cleanup with water. The paint forms a homogeneous, self-leveling film that dries rapidly, allowing successive layers, glazing or mixed-media techniques without long waiting times. It adheres well to properly primed materials such as plastic, resin, steel and white metal.

Suitable for

• Model kits and scale vehicles
• Miniature figures and wargaming models
• Small craft projects and dioramas
• Touch-ups and detail painting where a glossy black finish is required

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure pigment is evenly distributed. Apply over a suitably primed surface for optimal adhesion and colour fidelity. Use the bottle dispenser to place a small amount of paint on the palette or directly to the brush for controlled brush-on application. Thin with clean water if necessary to achieve finer glazes or smoother coverage; apply multiple thin layers rather than a single thick coat to preserve detail and avoid runs. Allow adequate drying time between layers.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prime the surface before painting and clean brushes with water after use. When working on miniatures or scale models, prefer thin, successive layers to maintain detail. Store the bottle upright, tightly closed and away from extreme temperatures to preserve paint quality.
