FAQs

Can I use this paint with a hairy brush?

Yes, the 3G formula is designed to level well, making it excellent for brush painting small details.

Do I need to prime my model before using this paint?

While the paint has high adhesion, using a high-quality model primer is always recommended for the best results.

Is this paint compatible with enamel washes?

Yes, once the acrylic paint is fully cured, it is safe to use enamel or oil-based washes over it.

What should I use to clean my brushes?

Use warm water or a dedicated acrylic brush cleaner immediately after use.

How long should I let it dry between coats?

It is generally dry to the touch in minutes, but allow 1-2 hours for a full cure before heavy handling or weathering.

Troubleshooting

Paint is clogging the airbrush nozzle

Thin the paint further with a dedicated acrylic thinner and ensure the pressure is set between 15-20 PSI.

Paint finish appears grainy

The paint is likely drying before it hits the model surface; move closer to the model or reduce the air pressure.

Poor adhesion to the plastic surface

Ensure the model kit has been thoroughly cleaned of mold release agents and primed before painting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent pigment density for full coverage
  • Works consistently with both brushes and airbrushes
  • Non-toxic and low odor
  • Easy color identification cap design

Cons

  • Requires proper thinning for optimal airbrush performance
  • Limited to a 17ml volume per bottle
  • Specific historical tone requires careful base-coating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before use, shake the bottle vigorously to ensure the high-density pigments are thoroughly mixed; using a stainless steel mixing ball inside the bottle can assist with this. For airbrushing, ensure your needle and nozzle are clean before starting. Always store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the acrylic emulsion. If the paint becomes too thick, use an acrylic-specific thinner rather than water to preserve the drying properties and adhesion strength. After painting, clean your airbrush with a dedicated acrylic cleaner or a mix of isopropyl alcohol and water to prevent long-term residue buildup.
