FAQs
What is the best way to apply Mr. Hobby GX-114?
An airbrush is recommended for the best results. If using a brush, apply thin, even coats.
Do I need to prime before using this clear coat?
Priming is recommended, especially if you are working with bare plastic or different materials. Always test compatibility.
How many coats should I apply?
Apply several thin coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. The number of coats depends on the desired effect.
Can I use this on metal models?
While it can be used on metal, make sure the surface is properly prepared and primed.
How do I clean my airbrush after using this paint?
Use Mr. Hobby's appropriate thinner, or a suitable lacquer thinner, to clean your airbrush immediately after use.
What is the drying time?
Drying time depends on environmental conditions, but generally, allow at least 15-30 minutes between coats and a few hours for full curing.
Can I mix this with other paints?
It is generally not recommended to mix this clear coat with other paints. It is designed to be used as a final clear coat.
Troubleshooting
White Blurring or Clouding
This is often caused by applying too much paint at once, or by high humidity. Apply thinner coats and ensure the previous coat is completely dry.
Uneven Finish
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and apply thin, even coats. Adjust air pressure for airbrush use.
Paint Runs or Drips
Apply thinner coats and maintain a consistent distance between the airbrush and the model surface.
