Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.883 Silver (17 ml) – bottle dispenser

VALLEJO 70.883 Silver (17 ml) is a water-based acrylic paint formulated for precise brush-on work in model making, miniatures and hobby painting. Delivered in a 17 ml bottle with a dispenser, this opaque metallic silver offers high pigment concentration for fine detail, highlights and layering. The fast-drying, self-leveling formula provides a homogenous paint film and adheres well to common modelling substrates such as plastic, resin, metal and primed surfaces. The compact bottle with an eyedropper-style dispenser helps control small amounts of paint and reduces waste, while tools and brushes can be cleaned with water.

Advantages

The paint combines a high pigment load and an opaque, metallic finish that reproduces silver tones accurately on small surfaces. Its water-based composition is non-flammable and solvent-free, enabling easy cleaning and safer handling. Fast drying and self-leveling properties minimize brush marks and allow controlled layering and highlighting. The 17 ml dispenser bottle prevents unnecessary evaporation and facilitates precise dosing for detailed work.

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure an even metallic dispersion. Apply the paint with a fine brush directly from the dispenser for small details or onto a palette for mixing and thinning. For best results, use on properly primed surfaces. Allow each thin layer to dry before applying subsequent layers or highlights. If needed, thin with a small amount of water to improve flow; avoid over-thinning to maintain opacity. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and keep the dispenser cap closed when not in use to avoid contamination and drying. Test compatibility with primers and other paints on a scrap piece before large-scale application. For weathering or subdued metallic effects, apply washes or glazes over the silver once fully dry.
