Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 70.862 Grey (Black Grey) 17 ml

VALLEJO 70.862 Grey (Black Grey) is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniatures, hobby and craft painting. Supplied in a bottle with a dispenser, this matt, opaque grey contains a high pigment concentration for consistent coverage and rapid drying. The Model Color formulation creates a self-leveling, homogeneous paint film with strong adhesion to common modelling surfaces including primer, resin, plastics, metal and white metal, and is suitable for both large areas and fine detail work.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers high pigment opacity and a matt finish that maintains colour fidelity after drying. Its water-based formula allows easy thinning and mixing for layering, glazing and blending techniques without compromising coverage. The dispenser bottle ensures controlled application and reduces waste. Dries quickly to a durable, self-leveling film with excellent adherence to a wide range of modelling materials. Brushes and tools can be cleaned with water.

How to use

Before painting, prepare surfaces by cleaning and applying an appropriate primer for best adhesion. Shake the bottle gently and dispense a small amount onto a palette or mixing surface. Apply with a brush in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding subsequent coats for better control of opacity and texture. Thin with water or a recommended acrylic thinner if necessary for glazing or smoother coverage. For fine detail work use small, high-quality brushes.

Usage recommendations

Use on primed surfaces for optimal adhesion and durability. Store the bottle tightly closed and protect from extreme temperatures. Test colour and opacity on a scrap piece or hidden area before applying to the final model. Clean brushes promptly with water to preserve brush life.
