Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver 17 ml is an additive for acrylic paints sprayed with an airbrush - it improves the flow of the paint and slows its drying on the tip of the needle. It is not a paint or a kit but modeling chemistry.

An airbrush auxiliary product from Vallejo in a 17 ml dropper bottle. It is not a paint or a kit - it is an additive that is added to acrylic paint and changes how it behaves while being sprayed. It improves the flow of the paint and slows the drying of the paint right on the tip of the needle, so the paint does not dry in the nozzle and the spray pattern stays smooth and even.
This is where the most common confusion arises. A thinner thins the paint - it lowers its body so that the paint gets through the nozzle at all, and at the same time it lightens it and weakens its covering power. A flow improver does not thin the paint. It is not added to make the paint thinner but to keep it wet longer and flowing better. That solves the most irritating problem of airbrushing: paint dries on the tip of the needle, spraying turns grainy, the paint spits and the nozzle gradually clogs. A thinner and a flow improver therefore do not rule each other out - they complement each other. You thin the paint to the right consistency with a thinner and fine-tune it with a flow improver so that it does not dry out during a longer session. That is exactly why it is worth having both on the bench.
For anyone who sprays acrylics with an airbrush and struggles with paint drying on the needle - from plastic model builders to figure painters. It pays off above all where large areas are sprayed in one go or where the airbrush is set fine and precise.
Safety: work in a well-ventilated area, ideally at a spray booth. Do not inhale the aerosol created while spraying - use a respirator. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, wear gloves and wash your hands after work. In sensitive people the product may cause an allergic skin reaction. Keep out of reach of children and follow the data on the label.
