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.
💡 Our Model Color paints have been designed with maximum user convenience in mind - easy to apply, quick to dry, and simple to clean up!
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.
Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between a paint and a wash?
Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.
Can I use these paints in an airbrush?
Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.
Do I need a primer?
Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
