Thinner Medium

Water‑based Acrylic Thinner Medium

Specifically designed for use with Vallejo Model Color, Panzer Aces, and Game Color acrylics, this 17 ml drop‑bottle thinner improves paint performance without altering its original properties. It enhances flow, extends drying time, and maintains adhesion, hardness, consistency, and color integrity. 

Key Benefits

Smooth and fluid application: Optimizes paint viscosity for brush painting, promoting self‑leveling on both large surfaces and fine details. 

Preserves pigment strength: Thins paint without diluting its tone or opacity, unlike using plain water. 

Control drying: Increases working time and helps avoid brush strokes or streaking on detailed work. 

Versatile compatibility: Fully compatible with all Vallejo acrylics and safe to mix with paints from other brands. 

Suggested Use & Tips

Brush thinning: A few drops of Thinner Medium per drop of paint is typically sufficient. Adjust according to color and humidity conditions. 

Airbrushing caution: Though water-based, this thinner is formulated for brush use. For airbrushing, the Vallejo Airbrush Thinner or Airbrush Flow Improver is recommended. 

Alternative thinning: While water can be used in a pinch, it may reduce adhesion and pigment density. Thinner Medium maintains finish and drying behavior.
