Product overview

Vallejo Chipping Medium 76.550 is a water-based acrylic medium designed to create realistic flaked-paint, scratch and rust-chip effects on scale models. Apply a layer of chipping medium over a dried base coat, then paint the top colour. Once dry, moisten the surface with water and use a stiff brush or rubber-tipped tool to lift the top coat, exposing the layer beneath as natural-looking chips and scratches.

Water-based acrylic, 35 ml dropper bottle
Apply between paint coats — brush or airbrush
Activate with water once dry; lift the top coat selectively
Non-flammable, solvent-free; clean tools with water
Works with all acrylic and waterbased paint ranges

Notes · Q & A

What is a model wash and when would I use one?

A wash is a very thin, highly pigmented acrylic fluid that flows into recessed detail by capillary action. Apply it over a sealed base coat to add shading around panel lines, rivets and surface texture, or use it as a full-surface filter to shift the overall tone of the model.

Do I need to seal the surface before applying a wash?

A smooth, sealed surface gives the wash a consistent flow and makes cleanup easier. A coat of gloss or satin varnish before the wash prevents it from staining a matt base coat unevenly.

How do I apply a wash and clean up the excess?

Load a soft brush and touch it to the area you want to shade; the wash will flow into the recesses on its own. After roughly 20 minutes of drying time, wipe away any unwanted residue from raised surfaces with a clean, slightly damp brush or cotton bud. These washes are water-based, so tools clean with water.

Can I apply a wash with an airbrush?

Yes. The manufacturer confirms these washes can be applied by brush or airbrush. A light, even pass with an airbrush works well as an overall filter to unify the tone of a model or add a subtle colour shift across a large surface.
