FAQs

Does this paint require a primer?

For best results and long-term durability, it is highly recommended to apply a dedicated hobby primer before using Gaahleri airbrush paints.

Can I mix this with other acrylic paints?

While it can be mixed with compatible acrylic hobby paints, we recommend sticking to the Gaahleri line to ensure the formula stability remains intact.

What is the recommended thinning ratio?

There is no fixed ratio, but a starting point of 2:1 or 3:1 (paint to thinner) is common; adjust based on your desired flow and nozzle size.

Is this paint water-soluble?

It is water-based acrylic, but it is best cleaned with professional airbrush cleaners to fully break down the binders used in the formula.

Can I use this for brush painting?

While formulated for airbrushes, it can be applied via brush for small touch-ups, though the quick-drying nature may make large areas difficult.

Troubleshooting

Paint is spidering or running on the model surface

Reduce air pressure or move the airbrush slightly further from the surface to allow for better atomization and control.

Paint clogging the airbrush nozzle

Thin the paint slightly more with an appropriate airbrush medium and ensure the needle and nozzle are cleaned thoroughly before use.

Poor adhesion to the surface

Ensure the model surface has been properly cleaned of oils and dust, and verify that a suitable primer has been applied beforehand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically formulated to prevent airbrush clogging
  • High opacity ensures fewer coats are needed
  • Excellent leveling properties for a smooth professional finish
  • Durable surface suitable for handling and display models

Cons

  • May require thinning for specific airbrush techniques
  • Color range may be more limited compared to general art paints
  • Requires proper ventilation during the spraying process

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before use, shake the bottle vigorously to ensure the pigment is thoroughly mixed. If the paint has been stored for an extended period, ensure the agitator ball is moving freely.

  • Compatibility: This paint is compatible with most acrylic hobby primers. Always test for adhesion on a small, hidden area if you are unsure of the surface chemistry.
  • Cleaning: Clean your airbrush immediately after use using a dedicated acrylic cleaner or an appropriate solvent. Do not allow the paint to dry inside the nozzle, as this will complicate the cleaning process.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is sealed tightly to prevent evaporation and skinning of the paint.
