I thin these with Tamiya X-20 thinner that previously had 10% retarder added to it. I thin at approx 2:1 and spray at around 15psi - I mostly use my Badger 105, Eclipse or Tamiya SF and haven't had any issue with them. You can thin these with any of the following: water, IPA, lacquer thinner or Tamiya but whilst water is best for brushing, it doesn't flow as well as the Tamiya. The lacquer thinners cause these to dry a bit to quick for my taste. Previous posters mention Vallejo's already thinned paint range for airbrushing called 'Model Air'. Be advised though that you are paying the same price for pre thinned paint so it is not the most economical way to go about it (especially with larger subjects like a 1/35 Jagdtiger) and should you wish to adjust your ratio its more difficult with pre thinned. **Q: Paint scrapes off? no matter what i put this paint on it srapes off way to easy. im trying to do plastic models and such but it dosent work.** A: Did you wash your model kit first? Models and some plastic miniatures have mold release agents on them from the manufacturing process, that slight film of release agent can prevent paint from sticking. Just a quick wash in the sink with a small amount of dishwash soap will help. **Q: Are all the colors "flat" or just the ones that say "flat" in the name?** A: All colors are flat finish. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vallejo - Model Color Basic Colors USA Set | Modeling Acrylic Paints | 16 Bottles x 18 ml (0.60 fl.oz.) - Vallejo - Model Color Face & Skin Tones Set | Modeling Acrylic Paints | 8 bottles x 18 ml (0.60 fl.oz.) - Vallejo - Surface Primer Color | Black Acrylic Primer 200 ml (6.76 fl.oz.) | Matte Finish and Fast Drying | Perfect for Airbrushing and Great Adhesion to Figurines and Scale Models --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1509873-basic-colors-usa-acrylic-paint-set-model-color-figure-color](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/1509873-basic-colors-usa-acrylic-paint-set-model-color-figure-color) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-06-17*
