RapidAir™ 24 Auto Colors Set
8 Solids + 16 Metallic/Pearl · Pre-Thinned · No Primer · Factory Paint Finish
What Is This?
A 24-colour automotive paint set built around real factory car colours — 8 solid body colours and 16 metallic/pearl finishes with micro-pigment pearl for genuine automotive depth. Thinner and cleaner included.
Pre-thinned and ready to spray through a 0.3–0.5mm airbrush. RapidAir™ formula delivers lacquer-like behaviour from a water-based acrylic: no beading, no sag, even metallic coverage across large curved panels.
Set Contents
🔴 8 Solid Colours
Classic body colours — white, black, reds, blues, yellows. Clean, opaque coverage for base layers.
✨ 16 Metallic / Pearl
Micro-pigment pearl for genuine automotive shimmer and depth — not flat silver with glitter.
+ 20ml Airbrush Thinner · 20ml Airbrush Cleaner
Best For
🚗 Scale car models — factory-accurate body, metallic two-tones, racing liveries
🤖 Gunpla & mecha — pearl and metallic armour panels
🏍️ Motorcycles, vehicles, aircraft — anywhere a factory-paint look is the goal
🎨 Custom paint — gloss automotive finish at scale
Performance & Usage
✅ 0.3–0.5mm airbrush · ~20–30 PSI
✅ Touch-dry ~15–20 min · Safe to handle ~30 min
✅ Strong adhesion — resists tape and decal setting
✅ No primer on ABS, PC, PE, resin, glass, metal, fabric
✅ Conditions: 5–40°C, humidity <80%
⚠️ Heads Up
Shake before every use — pearl pigments settle heavily. Inadequate shaking is the main cause of streaky metallic results.
Clear coat required for full gloss — these paint the foundation; a gloss clear coat on top achieves the mirror automotive finish.
Allow full acrylic cure before solvent-based varnish — test on scrap first.

What nozzle size do I need for miniatures?
0.3mm is the versatile all-rounder for base coats and priming; 0.2mm suits fine detail work. Larger nozzles (0.5mm) are for terrain and big surfaces.
Do I need a compressor with a tank?
A tank smooths the airflow and reduces pulsing, giving more consistent results — worth it if you spray regularly, but tankless compressors work fine for occasional use.
How do I keep an airbrush working well?
Flush with airbrush cleaner between colours and strip-clean after each session. Most spraying problems are cleaning problems.
