How should I clean my brushes after using these paints?
Clean your brushes immediately after use with water. If paint has dried, use an acrylic-specific brush cleaner.
What is the shelf life of these paints?
When stored properly with the lid tightly sealed, acrylic paints typically have a long shelf life, often several years.
Can these paints be mixed with other brands?

Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick for brush application.
Add a small amount of water or acrylic retarder to achieve desired consistency.
Paint is drying too quickly on the brush.
Use a retarder or work in smaller sections. A wet palette can also help maintain moisture.
Poor adhesion to the model surface.
Ensure the model surface is clean, free of grease and dust. Use a primer before applying the paint.
Airbrush clogging.
Ensure paint is adequately thinned. Clean the airbrush thoroughly after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-use acrylic paints. For airbrushing, thin with a suitable acrylic thinner (e.g., AMMO.A.MIG-2000) to your preferred consistency, typically around 1:1 or 2:1 thinner to paint ratio. For brush painting, minimal thinning may be required, or they can be applied directly from the jar for opaque coverage.
Compatibility: Compatible with most plastic model kits and primer types. They can be used with other acrylic brands, but testing on a spare part is recommended. Ensure proper surface preparation (cleaning and priming) for best adhesion.
Care: Store jars upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure lids are tightly sealed after use to prevent drying. Clean brushes and airbrushes immediately after use with water or an acrylic-specific cleaner.
