Product Information
Full details
This Revell Aqua Colour acrylic paint in Beige (RAL 1019) matte finish is designed for model makers seeking a versatile and user-friendly coloring solution. Its key benefit is the water-dilutable, mild-odour, and non-flammable formula, allowing for easy application and quick drying times. A potential caveat is the need for specific thinning ratios when used with an airbrush to prevent clogging.

FAQs
Can I mix Revell Aqua Color paints with other brands?
While it's generally best to use paints from the same system for optimal results, Revell Aqua Color paints are water-based acrylics. However, mixing with significantly different paint types (e.g., solvent-based enamels) is not recommended and may lead to compatibility issues.
How long does it take for the paint to be fully dry?
The paint is completely dry after 2 to 3 hours, though it can be overpainted after just 1 hour.
Is this paint suitable for beginners?
Yes, the water-dilutable formula, mild odour, and non-flammable properties make it very beginner-friendly.
Can I use this paint on plastic models?
Yes, Revell Aqua Color paints are specifically designed for model making, including plastic models.
How much thinner should I use for airbrushing?
It is recommended to dilute the paint with a maximum of 20-25% water. Using Revell Aqua Color Mix is also advised as it acts as a retardant.
Can I use this paint on materials other than plastic?
While primarily designed for models, this acrylic paint can adhere to various surfaces like wood, cardboard, and certain plastics if properly prepared and primed.
What is the best way to clean my brushes after using this paint?
Clean your brushes immediately after use with plain water. If the paint has dried, you can use Revell Aqua Color Clean or Revell Airbrush Clean.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick for airbrushing
Dilute further with water (up to 25%) or Revell Aqua Color Mix. Ensure the airbrush nozzle is clean.
Uneven coverage when brushing
Ensure the surface is clean and properly primed. Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat.
Paint is not drying within the expected timeframe
Ensure application is not excessively thick. Check environmental conditions (humidity, temperature).
Airbrush nozzle clogging during use
This usually indicates the paint is too thick or has started to dry in the airbrush. Clean the airbrush thoroughly and ensure proper thinning ratios are used.
