How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. Apply directly from the dispenser for small areas or transfer to a palette for thinning and mixing. For thin glazes or airbrushing, dilute with appropriate Vallejo thinners or water to the desired consistency. Allow each layer to dry before applying additional coats; drying times vary with film thickness and ambient conditions. Clean tools and brushes with water or a dedicated acrylic cleaner after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results on models and miniatures, apply this paint over a compatible primer to improve adhesion and preserve surface detail. When airbrushing, the manufacturer recommends thinning and setting compressor pressure appropriate to your equipment; for brushwork, use multiple thin layers rather than a single thick coat to avoid obscuring fine details.
