Vallejo Pigment FX

Vallejo Pigment FX delivers authentic weathering effects for scale models with finely ground mineral pigments that replicate real-world aging, rust, dust, and environmental wear. This professional weathering system includes earth tones like Brown Iron Oxide, Burnt Sienna, and Burnt Umber, plus specialized shades such as Chrome Oxide Green and Carbon Black for military vehicles, armor, aircraft, and dioramas.

Each 35ml bottle contains ultra-fine pigment powder that can be applied dry for subtle dust effects or mixed with water, alcohol, or fixatives for permanent weathering layers. Modelers achieve realistic rust streaks, mud accumulation, exhaust stains, and faded paint finishes that bring historical accuracy to armor models, aircraft, ships, and figures. The pigments work seamlessly with Vallejo Weathering FX and Vallejo Diorama FX products for complete finishing solutions.

Vallejo Pigment FX suits beginners learning weathering techniques and experienced modelers creating museum-quality finishes. The versatile formula adheres to acrylic, enamel, and lacquer painted surfaces without damaging underlying layers. Explore the complete Vallejo product range to enhance your scale modeling projects with professional-grade weathering materials trusted by modelers worldwide.

Advanced Weathering Techniques with Vallejo Pigment FX

Vallejo Pigment FX transforms scale models from pristine replicas into battle-worn masterpieces through layered weathering applications. Modelers combine dry brushing techniques with pigment fixatives to create depth and realism that captures decades of environmental exposure. The mineral-based formula replicates authentic oxidation patterns seen on military vehicles, industrial equipment, and weathered structures.

Application Methods for Realistic Effects

Dry application produces subtle dust accumulation and faded paint surfaces by brushing pigment powder directly onto model surfaces with soft brushes. Wet application using Vallejo Weathering FX thinners creates permanent rust streaks, oil stains, and mud splatter that withstand handling. Modelers layer multiple pigment shades to achieve complex weathering gradients from fresh rust to aged patina.

Compatible Products and Systems

Vallejo Pigment FX integrates seamlessly with Vallejo Primers, Vallejo Game Color, and Vallejo Panzer Aces paint ranges for comprehensive finishing workflows. The pigments complement Tamiya Weathering & Texture products and Mig Weathering systems, allowing modelers to combine techniques from multiple manufacturers.
