FAQs
Can I mix Revell Aqua Colour with enamel paints?
No. While you can paint these acrylics over fully cured enamel, they cannot be mixed together.
How much should I thin this paint for airbrushing?
Dilute with no more than 20 to 25% water or 'Aqua Color Mix'.
How long until I can apply a second coat?
You can overpaint the first coat after just one hour.
Is this paint flammable?
No, the Revell Aqua Colour range is non-flammable.
What is the best way to clean my airbrush after using this paint?
Clean the airbrush with water immediately after use. If dried, use a dedicated cleaning solution like 'Airbrush Clean'.
Can this paint be used on metal surfaces?
Yes, it is suitable for use on metal, plastic, glass, ceramics, wood, and cardboard.
Troubleshooting
Paint is drying too fast in the airbrush
Use 'Aqua Color Mix' as a thinner instead of pure water to benefit from its retardant properties.
Streaky finish with brush application
Apply thinner layers and ensure the brush is not overloaded; allow for the recommended drying time between coats.
Paint not sticking to the model surface
Thoroughly degrease the model surface before painting and consider a plastic-compatible primer.

- Environmentally friendly with low VOC levels
- Safe for use in indoor environments due to low-odour formula
- Excellent for both beginner brush work and advanced airbrushing techniques
- Extensive compatibility across many model-building materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your model surface is clean and free of dust or grease. For the best finish, shake the 18ml container thoroughly before use. When brushing, use a high-quality synthetic brush to minimize streaks. If airbrushing, clean your equipment immediately after finishing with water. If the paint dries within the gun, use a dedicated 'Airbrush Clean' or 'Aqua Color Clean' solution. You may layer these acrylics over older 'Email Color' enamels, provided the enamel base is fully cured, but avoid combining the two types in the same mixing cup as they are chemically incompatible.
