FAQs
Can I mix this with acrylic paints?
No, this is a synthetic resin enamel and should not be mixed with water-based acrylics.
Does this paint damage plastic models?
No, the formula is specifically designed to be safe for plastic surfaces.
How long does it take to dry?
Enamel paint typically takes several hours to be touch-dry, though full curing can take up to 24 hours depending on ambient temperature.
Can I use this for non-plastic materials?

What happens if I don't use the recommended cleaners?

Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick to spray
Add small amounts of Revell Color Mix until the desired consistency is achieved.
Brushes feel stiff after cleaning
Ensure you are using Revell Painta Clean rather than water, as water will not dissolve enamel resins.
Paint finish appears uneven
Ensure the model surface is free from oils or dust, and apply multiple thin coats instead of one thick coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your tools and the quality of your paint job, follow these guidelines:
- Thinning: Always use `Revell Color Mix` to achieve the desired viscosity for your application method.
