Acrylic Paint Bottle VALLEJO 70.947 Vermilion (Dark Vermilion) – dispenser bottle

VALLEJO 70.947 Vermilion (Dark Vermilion) is a water-based acrylic paint from the Model Color range supplied in a 17 ml dispenser bottle with an eyedropper tip for precise application. Formulated for brush-on work, this matt and opaque colour contains a high pigment concentration to deliver uniform coverage and accurate tone on small and large surfaces. It dries rapidly to a self-leveling, homogenous paint film, cleans up with water and offers strong adhesion to common modelling substrates such as plastic, resin, metal and painted surfaces when applied over a primer.

Advantages

The dispenser bottle with an eyedropper tip ensures controlled dispensing and reduces waste while preserving the remaining paint. The water-based formulation is non-flammable and solvent-free, allowing easy thinning, mixing and cleanup with water. High pigment load provides excellent opacity and colour fidelity; the fast-drying, self-leveling finish is suitable for both broad coverage and fine detail work. The paint has proven adhesion to materials used in modelling, including plastics, resin and metal.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and vehicles
• Miniatures and figure painting
• Hobby projects requiring precise brush application
• Touch-ups and small repairs on painted surfaces

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Dispense a small amount of paint onto a palette or mixing surface using the eyedropper tip. For best results apply over a primed surface. The paint can be thinned with water or Vallejo-approved thinner to adjust flow and opacity; mix gradually until the desired consistency is reached. Apply with quality brushes in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding subsequent coats. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Store the bottle upright with the cap closed to prevent contamination and drying. Work in a well-ventilated area and consult the product safety information for handling details. For consistent results on miniature details, apply multiple thin coats rather than a single thick coat; use primer appropriate to the model material to improve adhesion and colour accuracy.
