Professional Application Tips 🔍
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Do Model Color paints require thinning?
Model Color paints are ready to use straight from the bottle. However, they can be thinned with water or dedicated medium to achieve a glaze effect or more fluid consistency.
❓ How long do Model Color paints take to dry?
The paints dry to the touch within 15-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the layer. Complete curing occurs after approximately 24 hours.
❓ Are Model Color paints resistant to wear after drying?
Yes, after fully drying, the paints form a durable coating resistant to normal use. For additional protection, especially for frequently handled models, we recommend applying a clear protective varnish.
❓ Can the paints be used with an airbrush?
Although Model Color paints were primarily developed for brush application, they can be used with an airbrush after appropriate thinning with dedicated airbrush medium.
