Instead of painting a basecoat, wash, and highlight as separate steps, Space Grey can create a shaded result in one controlled coat over a light primer.

White gives the brightest result, light grey makes the contrast more controlled, and ivory or bone creates a warmer grey effect. Avoid applying it directly over black primer unless you only want a very subtle tint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoad the brush well, apply the paint with smooth strokes, and avoid overworking the same area once it starts to settle. If you keep brushing after the paint begins to dry, you may lift color or create uneven marks. For larger armor plates or flat terrain sections, work in smaller areas and guide excess paint away from places where it might pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor softer effects, mix it with \u003cstrong\u003eVallejo Xpress Medium\u003c\/strong\u003e instead of plain water. This keeps the paint behavior more predictable while reducing intensity. It can also be airbrushed as a transparent tint or filter, but the classic Xpress contrast effect is strongest when applied by brush over a light base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Vallejo Game Xpress Color the same as Citadel Contrast paint?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses a similar contrast-style painting technique. Both types of paint flow into recesses and leave raised surfaces lighter when applied over a light primer. Vallejo Game Xpress is a water-based acrylic option designed for fast miniature painting and strong value per bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat primer should I use under Game Xpress Space Grey?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite primer gives the brightest contrast effect. Light grey creates a more controlled grey result, while ivory or bone primer can make the color slightly warmer. Avoid black primer if you want the full contrast effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I airbrush Vallejo Game Xpress Color?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame Xpress Color is designed mainly for brush application, but it can be airbrushed when diluted with Xpress Medium or water. Airbrushing creates more of a transparent tint or glaze rather than the full contrast effect you get by brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes Game Xpress Space Grey work for Space Marine-style grey armor?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Space Grey works well for grey sci-fi armor, Space Marine-style schemes, mechanical parts, urban bases, and cool-toned armor panels when applied over a white or light grey primer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I dilute Vallejo Xpress Color for glazing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor glazing, mix Space Grey with Vallejo Xpress Medium until the intensity is reduced but the flow remains smooth. Xpress Medium is usually better than plain water because it keeps the paint behavior more consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Handling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways follow the safety information on the product label.
