Product Information
Full details
This AK Interactive 3rd Generation Acrylic Model Paint in Rusty Brass is designed for hobbyists and model builders seeking a high-quality, easy-to-use paint. Its key benefit is a new formula with high-performance resins that offers excellent adhesion and permanence. A potential caveat is its specific application as a model paint, which may require thinning for airbrush use. The paint is ready for brush application, features advanced anti-decanters to prevent separation, and is formulated in accordance with European regulations for user and environmental safety.

FAQs
Is this paint safe to use around children?
The paint is formulated according to European regulations, meaning it does not contain harmful substances that pose a risk to health or the environment. However, it is still a paint product and should be used with adult supervision and kept out of reach of young children.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying times can vary based on humidity and application thickness. Typically, it is touch-dry within minutes and fully cures to a permanent, waterproof finish within a few hours.
Can I mix this paint with other brands?
While AK Interactive 3rd Generation acrylics are designed for optimal performance, they can often be mixed with other water-based acrylic model paints. However, results may vary, and testing on a scrap piece is recommended before applying to a model.
Does the paint have a strong odor?
This acrylic paint has a low odor compared to solvent-based paints, making it suitable for use in enclosed spaces with adequate ventilation.
How do I clean up spills?
Wipe up wet paint immediately with a damp cloth. For dried paint, you may need to use warm, soapy water or an acrylic-specific cleaner.
What is the best way to store the paint?
Store the bottle sealed tightly in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Storing upright is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick for brush application.
Gently agitate or invert the bottle. If still too thick, add a tiny amount of water or acrylic thinner.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from mold release agents. Apply a suitable primer before painting.
Airbrush is clogging.
Thin the paint further with an acrylic thinner. Clean your airbrush thoroughly after use and during longer painting sessions.
Color appears uneven or streaky.
Apply additional thin coats rather than one thick coat. Ensure consistent brush strokes or airbrush passes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent adhesion and permanent finish once dry.
- Ready to use for brush painting straight from the bottle.
- Prevents separation issues with its anti-decanter formulation.
- Safe for users and the environment due to compliance with European regulations.
- Precise application with the 17ml dropper bottle.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This paint is ready for immediate use with a brush. Ensure the bottle is upright before opening. If any minor separation has occurred, gently invert the bottle a few times or stir with a clean brush or tool. For airbrush use, thin the paint with a suitable acrylic thinner or water until it reaches your desired consistency for spraying.
Compatibility: AK Interactive 3rd Generation Acrylic paints are designed to be compatible with most plastic model kits, resin, metal, and wood surfaces. They can typically be used over primed surfaces or directly onto prepared materials. For best results, always use a primer suitable for your model's material.
Care: Store the paint in its original sealed bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. After use, clean your brushes and airbrush immediately with water and/or an acrylic-specific cleaner to prevent the paint from drying and clogging your tools. Once dry on a model, the paint is permanent and waterproof, but it can be removed from tools before drying with soap and water.
