Acrylic Paint VALLEJO 70.999 Copper 17 ml Bottle

VALLEJO 70.999 Copper is a 17 ml dispenser bottle of water-based acrylic paint formulated for model making, miniatures, and hobby crafts. This copper-colored paint belongs to the Model Color range and delivers a metallic copper shade with high pigment concentration and an opaque, matt finish. It is suitable for brush application, layering, glazing, and fine detail work on primed plastic, metal, and resin surfaces, and it dries rapidly to form a self-leveling, uniform paint film.

Advantages

This acrylic paint offers strong coverage and excellent pigment load for consistent, opaque color in thin layers. Its water-based formulation ensures easy thinning and mixing with other Model Color shades, and fast drying reduces waiting time between coats. The paint adheres well to a variety of modelling materials including resin, plastics, steel and white metal, and cleans up easily with water. The dispenser bottle enables controlled application and helps reduce waste.

Suitable for

• Painting scale models and miniatures
• Detailing military vehicles, aircraft and figures
• Hobby and craft projects on plastic, metal and resin
• Layering, glazing and mixing to achieve metallic effects

How to use

Ensure the surface is clean and primed before application. Shake the bottle gently to homogenize the pigment, then apply with a fine brush in thin, even coats. For larger coverage, apply multiple thin layers rather than a single thick coat to maintain the matt, uniform film. Thin with water or an acrylic thinner if needed for glazing or mixing; allow each layer to dry thoroughly before applying the next. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results on miniatures, prime with an appropriate model primer and apply the copper paint in thin layers, finishing with selective highlights or glazes to enhance metallic depth. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
