FAQs
Can this paint be used with an airbrush?
While primarily designed for brush application, this paint can be thinned for use with an airbrush. Use a suitable acrylic thinner to achieve the desired consistency.
Is this paint safe for children?
This paint is made in accordance with European regulations, which means it should not contain any harmful substances. However, it is always recommended to supervise children while painting.
How do I clean my brushes?
Clean your brushes immediately after use with acrylic brush cleaner or warm water and soap. Rinse thoroughly and reshape the bristles before allowing them to dry.
What is the shelf life of this paint?
Properly stored, this paint should last for several years. Always ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after use.
Do I need to prime my model before using this paint?
Priming is highly recommended for optimal adhesion and a more even finish. It also helps to reveal any imperfections on the model's surface.
How many coats of paint should I apply?
Apply thin coats, building up the color gradually. The number of coats needed will depend on the desired opacity and the underlying color of the model. Typically, two to three thin coats are sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick or clumpy.
Ensure the paint is well-mixed by shaking the bottle vigorously. If needed, add a small amount of acrylic thinner, stirring gently.
Paint is not adhering to the model surface.
Make sure the model surface is clean, and primed. If the issue persists, try lightly sanding the surface before re-priming and painting.
Paint is drying too quickly.
Work in a well-ventilated area, and avoid painting in direct sunlight or high temperatures. You can also add a retarder to slow the drying process.
