Acrylic Paint Vallejo 70.870 Medium Sea Grey 17 ml bottle

Vallejo 70.870 Medium Sea Grey is a 17 ml bottle of matt, opaque acrylic paint from the Model Color range, formulated for brush-on application. Supplied in an eyedropper-style dispenser bottle for controlled dosing, this water-based paint offers a mid-grey tone suited to shading, layering and detailing in scale modelling, miniatures, hobby crafts and small touch-ups. The formulation is non-flammable, solvent-free and dries rapidly to a self-leveling, homogeneous film with high pigment concentration for consistent coverage on large areas and fine details.

Advantages

This Vallejo acrylic provides strong pigment load and matt opacity for reliable colour reproduction and easy layering. The eyedropper bottle ensures accurate dispensing and reduces waste while preserving the remaining paint. Model Color adheres well to common modelling substrates including plastics, resin, steel and white metal, and cleans up with water. Fast drying and self-leveling properties make it practical for both broad coverage and delicate detail work.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and military miniatures
• Layering and shading on figures and dioramas
• Hobby craft projects and small surface touch-ups
• Detail work where a stable mid-grey tone is required

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to homogenize the pigment. Dispense a small amount onto a palette or mixing surface using the eyedropper cap for controlled dosing. Apply with a suitable synthetic or natural brush in thin layers; allow each layer to dry before applying subsequent coats to achieve even coverage and smooth shading. For best results, apply over a primed surface appropriate to the model material. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Use thin, multiple coats for smooth, uniform finish and to preserve surface detail. When matching scale colours, test on a scrap piece or hidden area to confirm the tone under your display lighting. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain paint quality.
