💡 Pro Tips
Perfect Timing: The 10-minute drying period is crucial - too wet or too dry will affect the final look
Brush Control: Use minimal White Spirit on the blending brush to maintain streak definition
Pattern Variety: Mix up your streak patterns to avoid artificial-looking repetition
Surface Prep: Always test on a small area first to ensure desired effect
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.
