If you get some on your wifes favourite table it washes off easily, enamel requires white spirit to clean brushes and white spirit will strip the varnish off the table. I would recommend acrylic for any modelling and especially a beginner. Vallejo acrylics are very good, i use model colour, game colour and model air. Hope that helps. **Q: Are these paints Matte or Gloss finish** A: Hi, they dry with a nice smooth matte finish, however you can use gloss, satin or matte varnish to change or enhance the effect as required. Vallejo makes a decent gloss and satin varnish, but the best matte varnish is Testor's Dullcoat. You can also use different types of varnish on the same figure - for example, if you were painting a Napoleonic soldier, you could use matte varnish on the cloth parts of the uniform and gloss varnish on the boots and buckles. **Q: Are they good for painting reborns?** A: " Reborns" ? now that sounds a somewhat interesting hobby ? I have not he slightest idea what reborns refers to, but if you wish to paint a reborn, these would do the job I feel sure JR **Q: ARE THEY PRE-THINNED FOR USE WITH AN AIR BRUSH?** A: Model colour no but model air yesBuy the Vallejo thinner and mix about 80/20 then it's fantastic ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by W***N on 14 December 2025* My husband likes it. Good for painting models ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Typically excellent quality from Vallejo. *by P***E on 10 August 2017* Good selection of basic acrylic colours from the excellent Vallejo range. These are easy to use, consistent in quality, texture and colour and spread well with good surface coverage when mixed properly. Good value set to flesh out or expand an existing collection, or as a starter set for new model and figure painters. All the paints can be mixed to make further variations in colour. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Usually one coat sufficient, good coverage *by J***M on 2 March 2022* Used for painting plastic models and cardboard models for model railway. Paint can form bubbles at spout of bottle when bottle squeezed, but helps avoid paint wastage as precise amount can be dispensed. Applies easily with usually one coat coverage and fine lines can be painted. Mixes easily to form the colour you want and dilutes easily for use as a wash. Not cheap but well worth the money. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vallejo - Model Color Folkestone Basics 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 - Model Color Basic Colors USA Set | Modeling Acrylic Paints | 16 Bottles x 18 ml (0.60 fl.oz.) --- ## 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.tn/products/49117508-model-color-set-16-acrylic-paints-for-miniatures-18-ml](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49117508-model-color-set-16-acrylic-paints-for-miniatures-18-ml) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
