Vallejo Mahogany Paint, 17ml

Best paint I ever used! It is not thick as other brands but very opaque. Although it is mainly for the airbrush but I use regular brush. So easy to use. I have their metallic silver also.

As an avid modeler I'm very particular about the paints I use. I prefer Vallejo acrylics because they are easy to use, self leveling and the water-based paint means indoor use is not a problem. I use a portable paint booth and vent through a window.

I love this paint! Great viscosity and pigmentation.

I bought this because a true black metallic is virtually impossible to find anymore. Somehow AP's new (and otherwise fantastic) Fanatics line which I live by doesn't have one. I bought this to paint the black armor on a FF12 Fran statue I bought. I'd still prefer if it was a touch darker, but painting it on matte black primer got me close enough to my target. This paint is so well-thinned I used it with a brush straight out of the bottle (currently can't use my airbrush). It goes on so smooth, and the color and sheen look great and consistent. It does have some issues with bubbling out of the nozzle but I think that's just a cost of doing business with metallics. Really with my shop had this one so I didn't have to pay the cost of the bottle in shipping.

For being listed as no thinning needed, I found I needed to thin it to work with a .5mm needle. I can understand with finer needles but I'd have expect it to be pre-thinned well enough to be used directly in a .5 brush. Other than that it applied well with good flow and color. I'd also seen it was listed as a color match to Citadel Waaagh Flesh but this paint was markedly darker than Waaagh Flesh.

It covers well

Works as expected

Vallejo is known for quality paints and this one shows it. A beautiful gold that's neither dull nor is it gaudy it gives the correct nuances frequently missed in other paints.

Buen producto.

Very happy

I gave this a 3 star rating for one simple reason. 71.097 is not a primer, it is simple a grey color. Everything else about the transaction was great and I had my product fast and is a nice thin grey paint. http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/en_US/model-paints/faqs/3 7.5. Is your Model Air color 71.097 the same product as the new primers? No, this is simply a grey color, created years ago in the Model Air Line. We are changing the name to Base Grey precisely in order to avoid misunderstanding.

Perfect match on my 40 size Harvard.

Muy buen color.
