How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform pigment distribution. For brush application, decant a small amount into a palette and thin with water or a compatible acrylic thinner to the desired consistency. For airbrushing, strain if necessary and thin according to the airbrush manufacturer’s recommendations. Apply in thin, even layers, allowing each layer to dry before adding subsequent coats or weathering effects. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

Test the paint on a spare surface before applying to final models to confirm colour and finish. Use appropriate primers for best adhesion on different materials, and allow adequate drying time between layers to avoid lifting or mottling.
