FAQs
Do I need to thin this paint?
The paint is formulated to be airbrush-ready; however, you may thin it further depending on your specific airbrush nozzle size and personal preference.
Can this be used with a standard paint brush?
While it can be applied with a brush for small touch-ups, it is specifically optimized for airbrushing and may not provide the desired coverage or leveling with a brush.
What kind of primer should I use?
A high-quality acrylic hobby primer is recommended to ensure the best adhesion and to provide a smooth base for the metallic finish.
How do I store the paint?
Keep the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Is this paint water-based?
Yes, it is a high-quality acrylic formulation which generally cleans up with water or acrylic airbrush cleaner.
Troubleshooting
Paint is clogging the airbrush nozzle
Ensure the needle is clean and verify that the paint has been properly shaken. If clogging persists, add a small amount of acrylic-compatible thinner.
Uneven or grainy finish
Increase the distance between the airbrush and the model, or lower your air pressure to allow the paint to wet the surface more evenly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent flow characteristics for consistent airbrushing
- Deep, realistic metallic Scorched Gold tone
- Reduces the need for extensive thinning before use
- Versatile application across various model surfaces
Cons
- Requires thorough cleaning of airbrush equipment immediately after use
- Metallic pigments may require periodic agitation to prevent settling
- Limited to airbrush application; less effective with traditional brush painting
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Shake the bottle vigorously before every use to ensure the metallic pigments are fully suspended. Always ensure your surface is primed and free of oils or dust, as metallic paints can highlight surface imperfections. Compatibility with various airbrush brands is high, but it is recommended to test on a scrap piece of plastic first. Clean your airbrush immediately after finishing with an appropriate acrylic thinner or cleaner to prevent dried paint from clogging the internal needle components.
