Abteilung 502 Paynes Grey is a dark blue-grey artist oil intended for several model-painting techniques. AK Interactive specifically recommends it for stippling, altering an existing base colour and creating effects on painted uniforms. Its PB29 and PBk11 pigment combination produces a cooler alternative to a neutral black or grey when modifying shadows and darker areas. The reduced-oil ABT502 formula is designed to give more matt finishes while preserving the control and gradual blending associated with artist oils.

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.
