Vallejo Xpress Color is a special line of water-based acrylic paints, developed for fast and efficient figure painting. These are so-called "one-coat" paints that behave like a wash and a classic paint in one: they create natural shading themselves, highlight details, and cover the base color in a single stroke.

Ideal for fast tabletop painting, beginners, and professionals who want to achieve a striking result in a short time. They work best on light bases, e.g., Vallejo Surface Primer White / Ivory.
