Vallejo Acrylic Paint, Retarder, 0.57 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

Acrylicos Vallejo offers a range of acrylic paint colors in convenient 17ml eyedropper bottles. These paints are water-based, ensuring they are non-toxic and non-flammable. The design of the eyedropper bottle prevents spills, making them user-friendly.

Model Colour is specifically formulated to adhere well to various surfaces, including plastics and polyesters. The paint applies smoothly, covering large areas evenly without leaving visible brushstrokes. Its texture is ideal for intricate details in miniature artworks. Most shades dry to a matte and opaque finish, except for metallic and transparent colors.

Transparent colors provide a brilliant finish that tints surfaces without obscuring wood grains or other textures. They are particularly useful for creating effects like headlights and signal lights on models. When mixed with Mat Medium, they can tint airplane or car windows to simulate smoked glass, offering versatility in modeling applications.

These acrylic paints can be diluted with water for different effects, and all colors are intermixable. They do not contain solvents or lead pigments, ensuring they are safe for health and the environment. Errors can be corrected immediately with water or a small amount of alcohol before drying, after which the paint becomes waterproof and permanent.

The Vallejo Company, established in New Jersey, USA in 1965, initially specialized in manufacturing colors for animated films. Their expansion in the 1990s saw a focus on products for model painting and hobbies, cementing their reputation as pioneers in acrylic colors.

For those looking to extend drying times, Vallejo offers the VJ70597 Drying Retarder. Adding a few drops to the paint or using it directly from the palette helps maintain consistency and prevents premature drying. This is especially beneficial for techniques requiring "wet on wet" applications and reduces skin formation on the palette.

Presentation-wise, the VJ70597 Drying Retarder comes in a 17ml bottle, ensuring it's both practical and effective for enhancing painting techniques with Model Color.
