Product Information
Full details
Revell Aqua Colour Acrylic Paint is an ideal choice for model builders seeking a versatile, low-odor finish for their projects on materials ranging from plastic to wood. This water-based paint offers exceptional coverage and a fast-drying silk finish, making it perfect for both detailed brushwork and airbrush applications. While it is highly compatible with most surfaces, users should note that while it can be applied over existing enamel paints, it should never be mixed with them directly.

FAQs
Can I mix this paint with Revell Email Color?
No, you should never mix Aqua Colour acrylics with enamel paints as they have different chemical bases.
How long should I wait before applying a second coat?
You can overpaint after just one hour of drying time.
Do I need a special thinner?
You can use water for dilution, though Aqua Color Mix is recommended for airbrushing to improve flow and retard drying.
Is this paint safe for children?
While the paint is non-flammable and low-odor, it is designed for hobbyists and should always be used in a well-ventilated area with adult supervision for minors.
Can I use this on bare plastic?
Yes, it is highly effective on plastics, though a primer is always recommended for the best long-term adhesion.
Troubleshooting
Paint drying too fast in the airbrush
Add a small amount of Aqua Color Mix to act as a retardant instead of using only water.
Airbrush nozzle clogging
Ensure you are not diluting beyond the 25% threshold and clean the spray gun immediately after finishing.
Dried paint on tools
Use Airbrush Clean or Aqua Color Clean to dissolve and remove stubborn, hardened acrylic residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure that the surface is clean and free of dust or oils to maximize paint adhesion. If you are painting over old `Email Color` enamel paints, verify they are fully cured; while you can paint over them, they are chemically incompatible and must never be mixed in the same pot or bucket.
Store your paint in a cool, dry place to maintain consistency. When painting, work in thin, even layers to avoid pooling. After use, ensure the cap is tightly secured to prevent the water-based contents from drying out. Clean brushes thoroughly with water immediately after application to keep bristles soft and functional.
