Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver 200ml Paint Set

What a great product. Exactly as advertised and works well with Vallejo paints. The coolest thing though is the actual bottle itself. It has a very easy to use spout that I did not anticipate. I honestly thought itd just be an open hole you open the lid but I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend ESPECIALLY if you love using Vallejo products.

First off, Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver is a fantastic product. Add a few drops to the paint you want to spray to improve the consistency and slightly retard the drying time (no one wants that dried glob on the end of the needle). No complaints about the flow improver. However, most Vallejo products come with a shrink-wrap seal on the top. This bottle was unsealed, so it could have been literally anything in the bottle. It smelled and behaved like the Vallejo flow improver I already had, though, so it seems like the real stuff, but be aware to check if you get an unsealed one.

As expected

Bought a new Iwata HP-BH and it works flawlessly no jams, no dry tips/clogging. I had issue with dry tip on my Iwata Eclipse with out the Flow improver, but this time I wont use it with out it. Just get it save yourself a big headache.

makes paint come out easier and (tip dry) occurs less

Nothing in package...totally empty

its nice seams to help a little bit but no more than a thinner would the airbrush dose seam to not clog as much. CONS: it gives the paint a wet/greasy look (Im using Vallejo acrylic paints) when dried.

Vallejo boasts that their acrylic Model Air paints are ready to airbrush right out of the bottle. That may be true of some airbrush rigs but not mine. I use a Badger 200NH set for 30 psi. Acrylics dry fast. When I experimented with the paint, I had issues maintaining the flow of paint. It tended to dry on the needle and quit working. I watched YouTube videos that suggested: (1) use Vallejo airbrush flow improver with Model Air paints, and (2) add it to the mixing cup first, add the paint, then stir them together. Today, I tried that advice and got excellent results. At a ratio of 1 drop of flow improver per 5 drops of paint, my 200ml bottle should last a long time.

Good flow improver for air brushing.

Looks like someone’s return, no safety seal and had masking tape and hair all over it. Really disappointing because I wanted to try it for my new machine :(
