Acrylic paint bottle VALLEJO 70.957 Flat Red 17 ml

VALLEJO 70.957 Flat Red is a 17 ml water-based acrylic paint in a dispenser bottle designed for controlled brush-on application on models, miniatures and hobby projects. This matt, opaque colour belongs to the Model Color range and offers high pigment concentration for strong coverage and fine detail work. The formula is suitable for use on primed plastic, metal, resin and painted surfaces and dries quickly to a self-leveling, homogeneous film that supports layering, detailing and touch-ups.

Advantages

Flat Red delivers opaque, matt coverage with excellent pigment strength and good filling properties for even application on small and large surfaces. The water-based formula adheres well to resin, plastics, steel and white metal, dries rapidly and provides a stable finish that is easy to layer. Its dispenser bottle enables precise dispensing and reduced waste, while brushes and tools clean easily with water.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models, military vehicles and aircraft
• Detailing and finishing miniatures and figurines
• Touch-ups and small repairs on plastic, metal and resin parts

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure pigment uniformity. Apply the paint on a primed surface using a fine brush for details or a larger brush for broader areas. For best results apply thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next to build opacity and avoid brush marks. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Use a suitable primer for best adhesion and colour fidelity. If necessary, thin the paint with a small amount of water for glazing or smoother flow while maintaining the matt finish. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tightly closed to preserve consistency.
