VallejoAirbrush Flow Improver, 200 ml, Enhances Acrylic Paint Fluidity, Compatible with Airbrushes, Non-Diluting Formula

I bought this flow improver along with Vallejo’s black primer, and it’s been a great addition to my airbrush setup. It helps keep the airbrush lubricated and really reduces the risk of clogs or blockages during use. I always add a bit to the cup before the paint, and it definitely improves performance. Just be careful not to over-thin, as it can affect coverage. Used properly, it makes airbrushing much more consistent and hassle-free. Highly recommended for anyone using an airbrush regularly.

Pros:• Improved Paint Flow: The Flow Improver effectively thins the paint without compromising its pigment strength, allowing for finer lines and better control.• Reduces Tip Dry: One of the standout benefits is the noticeable reduction in tip dry, which means fewer interruptions during painting sessions.• Versatile Use: It’s compatible with various acrylic paint brands, not just Vallejo, making it a versatile addition to any artist’s toolkit.• Economical Size: The 200 ml bottle offers great value for money, lasting through numerous projects.Cons:• Learning Curve: It took some experimentation to find the right ratio of Flow Improver to paint for optimal results.• Not a Cleaner: It’s important to note that this is not a cleaning agent; it’s specifically designed to improve paint flow.Usage Tips:• Start with a small amount, such as a drop or two per 10 drops of paint, and adjust as needed based on your specific requirements.• Mix thoroughly to ensure even consistency before loading into the airbrush.Conclusion:The Vallejo Flow Improver is a must-have for anyone serious about airbrushing. Its ability to enhance paint flow and reduce tip dry makes the painting process more efficient and enjoyable. While it may require some initial experimentation to get the mix just right, the results are well worth the effort.

This in my honest opinion is a must have for every serious scale modeler/miniature airbrush artist/hobbyist. Even airbrush ready paints need thinning or at least I haven't ever found a brand that doesn't benefit from thinning. Not only does this product thin your paint but it extends the work time of the paint too keeping it flowing better for longer. I wouldn't airbrush without adding this along with a few drops of distilled water or thinner. For every four pipette drops of paint I add one drop of this and a drop of distilled water/thinner -generally as all paints are different thicknesses and a strict ratio can't be followed. If you don't believe me or think I may be exaggerating this also comes in a smaller bottle (this is how I first tried it out) grab some then you can thank me. I haven't looked back! Excellent stuff, also have a look at Vallejo Airbrush Thinner as a great companion for those thicker paints that don't come pre thinned for the airbrush. Like I say there is no point in me giving out ratios as all paints are different from pot to pot. i.e. my Citadel Air Mephiston Red is a tad thicker than the Citadel Air Fire Dragon Bright and therefore require different thinning ratios however whatever your ratio I always try and use half of the dilution Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver and my other thinning medium be it distilled water or Vallejo Airbrush Thinner, just as a note Lifecolor Acrylic Thinner is another good thinner to add to this Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver.Brilliant product.

Only just started airbrushing so I'm new to all the do and don't. I purchased all my equipment from Amazon compressor ,brush,acrylic paint (for airbrushing) and paint thinner. The paint was a bit pricey, so I asked Google for cheaper ideas. Use cheap acrylic paint, with flow improver and a bit of thinner, boom it worked a dream. I mixed up lots of colour in small plastic vaping bottles and getting good results. Excellent product.

Great product. Great price. Quick delivery

You need thinner, retarder, and flow improver. All do different jobs.Flow improver will do what it says on the bottle, keep the paint flowing without thinning the pigment like thinner, or delay drying like retarder. So horses for courses. Also, super useful for making washes flow over the model.An essential for all painters, useful for brushes too.

Works really well. Even use it for thinner Humbrol paints - especially those in the starter kits.Works fine though both of my brushesRecommended 👍
