Vallejo Xpress Color (Black Lotus)

The new Xpress Color formulation by Vallejo represents a new approach to painting fantasy and wargame miniatures. Need to paint your miniatures fast, but still want your models to look amazing? Xpress Color is the ideal choice.

Xpress Color Characteristics

The main characteristics of this amazing paint line are its excellent capillarity that allows the color to flow easily over the miniature surface, settling on all the reliefs and more intensely in the crevices of the figure, creating a contrast effect with a single layer of paint. Fast, easy, and looks incredible!

Xpress Color Application

It's recommended to apply Xpress Color on a white or grey primed or painted surface. The color will create light areas on the reliefs, saturated mid-tones and intense shadows in the crevices of the figure.

Xpress Colors are very versatile and can be applied over a zenithal highlight to create soft shading and contouring effects, and can be used to create glazes or filters and to blend transitions between color tones.

Xpress Color can be mixed together, or can be diluted with Xpress Medium to modify or create new shades.
