What is the drying time?

Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick or clumpy.
Thin the paint with Vallejo thinner for airbrush use or a small amount of water for brush application. Ensure proper mixing before use.
Paint is not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is properly primed. Allow the primer to fully cure before applying the paint. Lightly sand the surface if necessary to improve adhesion.
Paint dried too quickly in the airbrush.
Use a flow improver to slow down drying and prevent tip-dry. Adjust the air pressure.
