How do I use Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver with acrylic paints?

For optimal results, mix 1-2 drops of Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver with every 10 drops of acrylic paint directly in your airbrush cup. This ratio helps to improve paint fluidity and delay drying on the needle, ensuring a smooth, professional finish for detailed work. Always test the mixture on a scrap surface before applying to your project.

Can I use this flow improver with brands other than Vallejo?

Yes, Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver is designed to work with most acrylic paints, enhancing their airbrush application properties. While formulated for Vallejo acrylics, it effectively improves the fluidity and drying time of other acrylic paint brands used in model building and detailed art projects, providing a more uniform finish.

Will this flow improver affect the color of my acrylic paint?

No, the Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver is transparent and does not alter the color or opacity of your acrylic paints. Its purpose is to modify the paint's consistency and drying characteristics, allowing for better airbrush performance without compromising the original color or finish.

How does this compare to using just water to thin acrylic paint for airbrushing?

Using water alone can sometimes dilute the paint too much, affecting its adhesion and pigment density, and may not sufficiently delay drying. Vallejo Flow Improver is specifically formulated to maintain paint integrity while improving flow and preventing premature drying on the airbrush needle, leading to a more professional and consistent finish.

Is this product safe to use for indoor airbrushing?

While the product is generally safe for indoor use when used in a well-ventilated area, it is always recommended to use adequate ventilation when airbrushing. Ensure good airflow to disperse any airborne particles and fumes, especially when working with acrylic paints and mediums.

Why choose this product

Specialized Airbrush Formulation

Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver is engineered for acrylic paints, specifically addressing the challenges of airbrush application. Unlike generic thinners, this USA-imported medium delays paint drying on the needle and enhances fluidity, preventing clogs and ensuring a smooth, professional finish. It allows for intricate detail work and consistent coverage, crucial for modelers and artists. The transparent formula maintains paint color integrity. This specialized medium is a key component for achieving high-precision airbrushing results, setting your work apart from standard applications.

Who It's For vs. Who Should Skip It

This flow improver is ideal for airbrush artists, scale modelers, and miniature painters who use acrylic paints and require enhanced fluidity and delayed drying.
