Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 70.899 Dark Prussian Blue 17 ml

VALLEJO 70.899 Dark Prussian Blue is a matt, opaque acrylic paint supplied in a 17 ml dispenser bottle, formulated for scale models, miniatures and hobby painting. This water-based Model Color paint provides a high pigment concentration that dries rapidly to a self-leveling, homogenous film suitable for both broad surfaces and fine detail work. The dispenser bottle allows controlled application and convenient storage; the paint adheres well to primed surfaces, resin, plastics, metal and white metal and can be applied with a brush or airbrush when diluted.

Advantages

The paint offers excellent coverage and opacity with a high pigment load in a water-based formula that is easy to thin and clean up with water. It forms a uniform, matt finish that levels itself, reducing brush marks and enabling crisp details on miniatures. Compatibility with a wide range of modelling substrates and quick drying times make it practical for layered painting, washes and weathering techniques.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and military miniatures
• Detail work on figures, vehicles and aircraft
• Brush-on base coats, layering and small-area touch-ups
• Airbrush use when thinned for larger surfaces and smooth gradients

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment suspension. Apply on a primed surface for best adhesion and colour fidelity. For brush application use undiluted or slightly thinned with water to adjust flow; for airbrushing dilute according to equipment and desired coverage until the paint sprays evenly. Apply in thin, even layers allowing each layer to dry before applying the next to build colour depth without obscuring detail.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Test compatibility on a small area when using over different primers or substrates. Clean brushes immediately after use with water to prevent drying in the bristles. To preserve the matt finish, avoid varnishes that significantly alter gloss unless a specific effect is desired.
