FAQs

Can I use this paint on metal surfaces?

Yes, Revell Color can be used on many materials, including metal, though surface preparation might be needed for optimal adhesion.

How long does it take for the paint to be fully dry?

The paint is completely dry after 24 hours. It is touch-dry and ready for a second coat in 4-6 hours.

What is the best way to clean my airbrush after using this paint?

Use 'Revell Airbrush Clean' specifically designed for cleaning spray guns and airbrushes after using Revell paints.

Can I mix the metallic silver with a gloss color?

Is this paint safe for use by children?

The product is listed as suitable for any age, indicating it is generally safe for hobbyist use.

Do I need a special primer before applying this paint?

While it adheres well to plastic, a primer is recommended for other materials or to ensure maximum durability and adhesion, especially on smooth or non-porous surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick for brush application.

Add a very small amount of 'Revell Color Mix' and stir gently. Avoid over-thinning.

Paint is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Priming may be necessary for some materials.

Uneven finish after spraying.

Ensure proper dilution with 'Revell Color Mix'. Check spray gun nozzle for blockages and maintain a consistent distance and speed during application.

Difficulty cleaning brushes.

Clean brushes immediately after use with 'Revell Painta Clean'. If paint has dried, soaking may be required, though effectiveness varies.
