FAQs
Are these paints water-based?

Can I use these with an airbrush?
While intended for brush application, these can be airbrushed if thinned significantly with an airbrush thinner or flow improver.
Do I need to prime my miniatures first?
Yes, priming is essential for acrylic paints to bond correctly to resin, plastic, or metal surfaces.
How long do these paints take to dry?
They typically dry to a touch within 15-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the application and humidity levels.
Can I mix these colors with other Vallejo paints?
Yes, Vallejo Game Color paints are fully compatible and can be mixed with other acrylic lines from Vallejo.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or patchy
Apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat, allowing sufficient drying time between layers.
Paint is too thick to flow smoothly
Add a small amount of distilled water or a dedicated acrylic thinner to the paint on your palette.
Pigment has separated in the bottle
Ensure the bottle is closed securely and shake vigorously for 30-60 seconds until the consistency is uniform.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your miniatures are clean and primed with a high-quality acrylic primer before starting. The Game Color line is compatible with other acrylic water-based paints. If the paint is too thick, add a small drop of water or an acrylic medium to reach your desired consistency. After painting, ensure the bottle caps are closed tightly to prevent the paint from drying out. Store the bottles in an upright position in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. To clean your brushes, use lukewarm water and a gentle brush soap immediately after use to prevent paint from hardening in the bristles.
