Our take on the Vallejo Acrylic Model Color Paint - Gunmetal Blue, 18 ml

Vallejo Model Color Gunmetal Blue is an 18 ml dropper bottle of water-based acrylic for brush painting miniatures and models. It is a metallic blue-grey that suits armor, machinery, engines and sci-fi panels. Model Color is known for dense pigment, matte-to-satin coverage and easy thinning with water. Reviewers say the flip-top dropper wastes little paint and keeps it usable for years, though metallic shades need thorough mixing and a primer underneath.

What reviewers say

Model Color is widely praised by miniature painters for pigment density, coverage and the dropper bottle. Metallic shades like this one draw mixed notes: good color, but separation and graininess if not mixed and thinned carefully.

What people mention
  • CoveragePraisedPainters say a couple of thin coats cover well without hiding detail.
  • BottlePraisedThe dropper tip lets them dispense single drops and keeps leftover paint usable.
  • Metallic mixingCriticisedThe metallic pigment settles, so the bottle needs long shaking before use.
  • FinishMixedSome find the metallic blue-grey convincing on armor; others see grain when it is thinned too far.
  • ThinningPraisedIt thins cleanly with water for brush work.

Questions and answers

Is this paint water-based?
Yes. Model Color is a water-based acrylic, so it thins and cleans up with water.
Do I need a primer?

How much paint is in the bottle?
The bottle holds 18 ml, or about 17 ml of usable paint, in a flip-top dropper.
Can I use it in an airbrush?
It can be airbrushed, but thin it with acrylic thinner and strain it first; straight from the bottle it is too thick.
What does Gunmetal Blue look like?
It is a dark metallic blue-grey, close to blued steel, suited to armor, weapons and machinery.

Model Color is aimed at realistic military and scale models with a more muted metallic look; Game Color metallics are brighter and aimed at fantasy figures.
