AK Interactive 11181 Dark Blue 17ml 3rd Gen. Acrylic Model Paint

Yes, while designed for brush application, it can be used with an airbrush by thinning it with an appropriate acrylic thinner or water. We recommend thinning with AK Interactive's airbrush thinner for best results.

Drying time can vary based on application thickness and environmental conditions. Typically, it dries to the touch within minutes and cures to a permanent, waterproof finish within a few hours.

The paint is formulated in accordance with European regulations, ensuring no harmful substances are used that could pose a risk to health or the environment. However, it is intended for hobbyists and adult supervision is recommended if children are involved in the modeling process.

Clean up spills immediately with water while the paint is still wet. Once dry, the paint becomes permanent and waterproof, making it more difficult to remove.

When stored properly (sealed cap, upright, cool, dry place), acrylic paints generally have a long shelf life, often several years. The 3rd Gen. formula is designed for stability.

It is generally compatible with other acrylic model paints. However, to ensure optimal results and prevent unexpected reactions, it's advisable to test on a small area first when mixing brands.

While designed for brush application, for airbrush use, thin the paint gradually with AK Interactive's airbrush thinner or a 50/50 mix of water and isopropyl alcohol until the desired consistency is reached. Always test on a scrap piece first.

Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Ensure your brush is properly loaded and the paint is flowing smoothly. If issues persist, try thinning slightly as mentioned above.

The 3rd Gen. formula includes anti-decanting agents to minimize separation. If some separation occurs, gently agitate the bottle by rolling it between your hands. Avoid vigorous shaking which can introduce air bubbles.
