Review: Excellent - I’ve been using Vallejo acrylic paints for miniature painting for quite some time, and they consistently deliver excellent results. The paint has a smooth, creamy consistency straight from the bottle, making it easy to apply with both brushes and airbrushes. It provides great coverage in thin layers, which is ideal for building up colour gradually without obscuring fine details on miniatures. The pigmentation is rich and vibrant, producing crisp, clean colours that dry to a nice matte or satin finish depending on the range. They mix well on a wet palette, allowing for smooth blending, layering, and glazing techniques—perfect for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. One of Vallejo’s standout features is the dropper bottle design. It’s precise, reduces waste, and helps keep the paint fresh over time. The bottles are easy to shake, and the paint doesn’t separate excessively even after sitting for a while, which speaks to its quality. The range of colours is extensive, covering everything from natural tones and military shades to bright fantasy hues, metallics, washes, and mediums. The paints also clean up easily with water, which makes them very user-friendly. Overall, Vallejo acrylics are reliable, versatile, and professional-quality paints that are perfect for miniature painting, model kits, and hobby work. Whether you’re basecoating, highlighting, or blending, they offer excellent control and a beautiful finish every time.
Review: Works really well. - This is good stuff and I like that you can see where you’ve put it and can therefore make sure to remove it all. Be aware, though, that this is a tiny amount! Think nail varnish size, then maybe take some away! I hadn’t really appreciated that!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this to glaze polymer clay after baked?**
A: No, I bought this specifically for polymer clay and it leaves it sticky and tacky after allowing to dry for a couple hours.

**Q: Will this be ok to seal a painted tile?**
A: This is fo plastic models, but you can try it, maybe with extra coats might work. Don't think it would work for a tile, where you will have high a high traffic over it.

**Q: Can this be applied using a brush or does it have be an airbrush?**
A: you can use a brush, no problem. the difference is, with an airbrush you will get more smooth and professional results.

**Q: Will this seal acrylic paint**
A: Yes, definitely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bit pale but nice quality
*by M***S on 9 July 2025*

Goes on smoothly, easy to mix and good pigment levels. The finish is too pale in my opinion (loss of 1 star) and will almost certainly need mixing with another colour unless 'raw sausage' is what you're aimng for.
