Professional Application Tips 🔍

Prime the surface: For best results, it is recommended to apply the paints on a surface that has been previously primed with an appropriate primer.

✅

Layer technique: Apply thin layers instead of one thick layer for the best coverage and most even finish.

✅

Wet blending: Take advantage of the paint's self-leveling properties when creating smooth transitions between colors.

✅

Color mixing: Model Color paints blend excellently with each other, allowing you to create an unlimited palette of shades.

✅

Glazes and washes: Dilute the paint with water or glazing medium to create transparent glazes perfect for shading.

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.
