FAQs

Does this paint need to be shaken before use?

No, the 3rd Generation formula features anti-decanters that keep the components mixed, so it's ready to use directly from the bottle without shaking.

Is this paint safe to use?

Yes, the paint is formulated in accordance with European regulations and does not contain harmful substances.

Can I use this paint with an airbrush?

Yes, but it is recommended to thin the paint with a suitable acrylic thinner or distilled water for optimal airbrush performance.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying time can vary based on application thickness and environmental conditions, but it is typically touch-dry within minutes and fully cures to a permanent, waterproof state within a few hours.

What surfaces can I paint on?

This paint adheres well to most model plastics, metal, and resin surfaces.

Is the Clear Green color transparent?

Yes, it is a transparent green color suitable for effects like tinted canopies or lenses.

How should I clean my brushes after using this paint?

Clean your brushes immediately after use with water or an acrylic-specific cleaner.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears too thick for brush application.

While ready to use, very fine details might benefit from a tiny amount of distilled water or acrylic thinner added to the palette for a smoother flow.

Airbrush clogging.

Ensure the paint is adequately thinned for airbrush use. Clean the airbrush thoroughly after each session.

Color looks patchy after one coat.

Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat to achieve an even finish. Allow each coat to dry sufficiently before applying the next.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No shaking required, saving preparation time.
  • Consistent paint consistency due to anti-decanters.
  • Durable and waterproof finish when dry.
  • Safe formulation compliant with European standards.
  • Precise application with the dropper bottle.

Cons

  • May require thinning for optimal airbrush performance.
  • Drying time can vary based on application thickness and environment.
  • Specific color coverage might require multiple thin coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No specific setup is required. The paint is ready for immediate use. Ensure the dropper tip is clean before and after each use.

Compatibility: This acrylic paint is designed for use on most model plastics, metal, and resin. It can be used in conjunction with other acrylic paints and mediums. For airbrushing, it is recommended to thin the paint with a dedicated acrylic thinner or distilled water to achieve the desired consistency. Avoid mixing with lacquer-based paints or solvents, as this may compromise the finish.

Care: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use to prevent the paint from drying out. Clean brushes and airbrush components immediately after use with water or an acrylic-specific cleaner.
