Acrylic paint VALLEJO 70.990 Light Grey 17 ml bottle, dispenser bottle

VALLEJO 70.990 Light Grey is a 17 ml dispenser bottle of matt, opaque water-based acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniatures and hobby painting. The Model Color range offers high pigment concentration for consistent coverage and reliable color matching; this Light Grey shade dries quickly to a self-leveling, homogeneous film suitable for both broad surfaces and fine detail work. The dispenser bottle allows controlled dispensing and easy mixing with other acrylics, glazes or washes.

Advantages

This matt, opaque acrylic delivers a high pigment load that ensures good coverage and true color reproduction on primed surfaces. It adheres well to common modelling materials including plastics, resin, metal and white metal, and dries to a uniform, self-leveling finish. The water-based formula is brush-friendly and cleans up with water, while the dispenser bottle provides precise application and reduces waste during detail painting and layering.

Suitable for

How to use

Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure pigment uniformity. Apply VALLEJO 70.990 Light Grey on a primed surface using a fine brush for details or a larger brush for broader areas. For layering or glazing, thin the paint with a little water or suitable acrylic thinner; for washes, dilute further to the desired transparency. Allow layers to dry between applications to maintain crisp detail and avoid lifting. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, apply the paint over an appropriate primer to improve adhesion and color fidelity. Test thinners and mixes on a spare sprue or palette before applying to the final model. Store the dispenser bottle upright and tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
