Vallejo – Acrylic Paints Brand
This section covers the most common questions people have about these professional-grade acrylic paints.
Once opened, the paints remain usable for several years when stored properly. Keep containers tightly sealed and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the paint becomes slightly thick over time, adding a few drops of distilled water can restore the original consistency.
For brush painting, add small amounts of distilled water or acrylic medium until reaching the desired consistency. For airbrushing, thin with distilled water at a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio (paint to water). Always add thinner gradually and test on a spare surface first.
Yes, these paints mix well with most other acrylic paint brands. The formulation is compatible with standard acrylic mediums, varnishes, and additives from various manufacturers. This makes it easy to expand color options or achieve specific effects.
Clean brushes immediately after use with warm water and mild soap. For dried paint, soak brushes in warm water for a few minutes before cleaning. Avoid letting paint dry completely on brushes, as this can damage the bristles permanently.
While the paints adhere well to many surfaces, they benefit from a protective clear coat for outdoor applications. The pigments are lightfast, but UV protection and weather sealing will help maintain color vibrancy and prevent deterioration over time.
These paints adhere to most clean, non-greasy surfaces including plastic, metal, wood, canvas, and primed surfaces. For best results on smooth surfaces like plastic or metal, light sanding or using a primer can improve adhesion and durability.

Where Color Comes to Life
Vallejo has been crafting premium acrylic paints since 1965, when our founder Enrique Vallejo first mixed pigments in a small Barcelona workshop. What started as one artist’s pursuit of the perfect paint formula has grown into a global favorite among miniature painters, model builders, and fine artists who demand precision and vibrancy in every drop. We’re the paint company that understands the difference between “good enough” and “exactly right.”
Our formulas aren’t accidents—they’re the result of decades spent listening to artists, watching them work, and refining our colors based on real-world feedback. Every batch is tested not just in our labs, but by painters who know that a slightly off shade of military green can ruin hours of detailed work. We’ve built our reputation one satisfied artist at a time, earning trust through consistent quality rather than flashy marketing.
From our Spanish facilities to your palette, Vallejo paints carry the precision of European craftsmanship with the reliability modern artists expect. Whether you’re painting your first miniature or restoring a classic aircraft model, our colors flow the way paint should—smoothly, predictably, and with the staying power to outlast whatever project you’re dreaming up next. We don’t just make paint; we make the tools that help your vision become reality.

The pigment density is incredible – I can get smooth, even coats on my miniatures without any streaking. Been using these for my Warhammer army and the coverage is consistently excellent.

Finally found acrylics that work perfectly with my airbrush setup. No clogging, beautiful gradients, and they dry to exactly the finish I want every time.

These metallics have such a realistic sheen – my Gundam builds look like actual metal now. The bottle design makes mixing custom shades so much easier than other brands I’ve tried.
