Mr. COLOR is solvent-based, offering a wider color range and faster drying times compared to AQUEOUS HOBBY COLOR, which is water-based.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

Apply 1 to 2 coats if using a paintbrush, or 2 to 3 coats if airbrushing. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.

What should I use to clean my airbrush after using Mr. Colour paints?

Use a solvent-based cleaner specifically designed for acrylic paints.

Is this paint suitable for all types of models?

Yes, Mr. Colour paints are suitable for military tanks, aircrafts, car models, robot models, and many more. Ensure the surface is prepared correctly.

How should I store Mr. Colour paints?

Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.

Can I mix Mr. Colour paints?

Yes, Mr. Colour paints can be mixed to create custom colors. Always mix them in a well-ventilated area.

What is the drying time for Mr. Colour paints?

Drying times can vary depending on environmental conditions, but the paint typically dries relatively quickly compared to water-based alternatives.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick and clogs the airbrush.

Thin the paint with a suitable thinner specifically designed for solvent-based acrylic paints. Experiment with the thinning ratio until the paint flows smoothly through the airbrush.

Paint finish is not smooth or has a grainy texture.

Ensure proper surface preparation. The model surface should be clean and smooth before painting. Use multiple thin coats, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. Adjust the airbrush pressure and distance for optimal results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure you have adequate ventilation when using Mr. Colour paints. A well-ventilated workspace is essential due to the solvent-based nature of the paint. Protect your work surface and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and a mask.

For airbrushing, thin the paint as needed using a suitable thinner. Clean your airbrush thoroughly after each use to prevent clogging. When using a paintbrush, clean your brushes immediately after use with an appropriate solvent.

Always store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Make sure the container is tightly closed to prevent the paint from drying out.
