Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 70.946 Dark Red 17 ml, dispenser bottle

VALLEJO 70.946 Dark Red is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint supplied in a dispenser bottle designed for precise application in model making, miniatures, hobby and craft painting. This matt, opaque colour from the Model Color range features high pigment concentration and a formula intended for brush-on use, offering a self-leveling, homogeneous paint film that dries rapidly and adheres well to common modelling materials.

Advantages

The paint delivers an opaque, matt finish with strong pigment density for accurate colour coverage in thin or layered applications. The dispenser bottle allows controlled pouring and fine dispensing for washes, details and touch-ups. The water-based formulation ensures straightforward thinning and cleaning with water, and the product is formulated to adhere well to plastics, resin, metal and other typical modelling surfaces when applied over a suitable primer.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and vehicles
• Detail work on miniatures and figures
• Layering and glazing techniques
• Washes and controlled pours on small surfaces

How to use

Ensure the model surface is clean and primed before painting. Shake the dispenser bottle to homogenize the pigment, then apply with a brush or dispense small amounts for washes and details. Thin with water if necessary to adjust viscosity for glazing or washing techniques. Allow each layer to dry before applying additional coats; the rapid-drying formula typically enables quick recoating. Clean brushes and tools with water after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prime surfaces first and test dilution ratios on a spare piece to achieve the desired transparency or coverage. Use light, even brush strokes for a smooth, self-leveled finish and apply multiple thin layers rather than a single thick coat to avoid obscuring fine details.
