FAQs
Does this primer need to be thinned further?
No, it is factory-pre-thinned and designed for immediate use straight from the bottle.
Can this be brushed on, or is it only for airbrushing?
While optimized for airbrushing due to its RapidAir Technology, it can be applied by brush for small touch-ups.
Is it safe for children to use?
It is non-toxic and solvent-free, but adult supervision is recommended for any airbrushing activities.
What should I use to clean my airbrush after use?
Use a standard water-based acrylic airbrush cleaner or warm water with a mild detergent.
How long does it take to fully cure?
While it dries to the touch in minutes, allow at least 12-24 hours for a full, durable cure before heavy handling or masking.
Troubleshooting
Paint is beading on the surface
This often indicates residue on the model. Clean the surface thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol or a dedicated degreaser before re-priming.
Airbrush tip drying
Water-based paints dry quickly. Add a drop of flow improver to the cup or wipe the nozzle frequently with a damp cloth during extended sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of oils or mold release agents. Because the formula is pre-thinned, shake the bottle thoroughly before pouring it into your airbrush cup to ensure pigment dispersion. After use, clean your airbrush immediately with a water-based cleaner or airbrush thinner to prevent the acrylic from drying inside the nozzle. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the paint. It is compatible with most standard acrylic airbrush systems, but it is recommended to perform a test spray on scrap material to calibrate your air pressure settings.
