VallejoPremium Color 60 ml Paint - Black

This is a review specifically of Vallejo Air's clear gloss varnish for use in an airbrush.Spanish manufacturer Vallejo specialises in acrylics formulated for airbrushes, and this is their gloss varnish. It flows through the airbrush easily without blocking and offers a bright gloss finish ideal for the application of decals which slide smoothly into position on the gloss surface.The acrylic varnish may be used straight from the bottle into the airbrush or thinned 4:1 with thinner or 5:1 with ‘airbrush flow improver’ (fantastic product BTW with regular acrylics but with Vallejo Air formulations not really necessary).Make sure you apply 2 or 3 thin coats and give it plenty of drying time, ideally 24 hours between coats.The varnish is supplied in a 60ml pot which covers around a square metre. It’s a good product and superior to the gloss varnishes from Tamiya which doesn’t always flow easily thru the airbrush, or Humbrol which does flow well but sometimes does not dry completely clear but can have an annoying white residue.It’s easy to clean out of your airbrush by rinsing through with airbrush cleaner, without disassembling the parts.

Good value for the money

I've gone through many white primers from rattles to "airbrush" products, this one is definitely up there with Stylynrez... In fact for my Iwata 0.3mm eclipse it's my new favourite.Ran it with my standard airbrush soup (3/1 thinner to flow improver) at roughly 1:3 soup/product with a couple drops of thinner pre-session in the cup, I was able to keep going at 25psi for 30-40mins without a single clog and the finish was buttery smooth after a couple of thin coats. Retarder kept it from drying in the cup completely (a good sign for the nozzle), an issue I had with other brands with the same sauce.Gave it a quick rub with the fingers and nothing is coming off, paint applies well to my plastic miniatures.Highly recommend this one, although would ofc suggest playing around with your thinners for best results. Points for not saying "no thinning required" on the bottle.

Does the job

Good product goes far

Use this regularly through my airbrush for priming. Does not require thinning and no issues with clogging. Adhesion and coverage are great. Do recommend looking for the 200ml bottle though as usually better value for money.

Easy to use , would be happy to receive samples to try as quite expensive

I use this primer both in an airbrush and with a paint brush. I have found it to give a good solid base for both metal and plastic miniatures.I consider it to be good value and having tried other primers, find that this is best suited to my needs.

Great colour density and pigment fill. Finish appears quite durable.

I’ve used this as a final coat for several models as well as props for cosplay and I love the finish.It may clog your airbrush if you don’t use it fast enough but it’s easily cleaned if you’re familiar with how to clean it.It applies evenly, the finish is good.

Love it

I just started model painting and I tried this for painting a black armor. It went on smooth when applied by brush and still had great coverage despite being designed for use with an airbrush.
