FAQs
Do I need to prime my model before using Caledor Sky?
Yes, for the best durability and coverage, always apply a primer coat to your plastic, resin, or metal model first.
Can this paint be used with an airbrush?
While designed for brush application, it can be airbrushed if thinned significantly with an appropriate airbrush thinner.
How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?
Because it is a water-based acrylic, simply rinse your brushes thoroughly in clean water immediately after use.
Is this paint safe for children?
The paint is non-toxic, but we recommend adult supervision for younger hobbyists to ensure proper handling and cleanup.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Depending on the thickness of the application, the paint typically dries to the touch within 10 to 20 minutes.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven
The paint may be too thick; add a tiny amount of water to the palette to improve flow.
Paint is clumping inside the pot
Ensure the lid is fully sealed; if already clumpy, add a small amount of acrylic medium and stir thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your miniature is primed with a Citadel spray primer for the best paint adhesion. Before use, shake the pot vigorously to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. Always transfer a small amount of paint to a palette rather than painting directly from the pot to prevent contamination. For care, ensure the lid is snapped completely shut after every use to prevent the acrylic from drying out. If the paint becomes too thick over time, add a single drop of clean water or specialized acrylic thinner.
