FAQs
Is this paint suitable for airbrushing?
Yes, it can be airbrushed, but it will likely require thinning with an acrylic thinner suitable for airbrush use to achieve the correct spray consistency.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying time can vary based on humidity and application thickness, but it typically dries to the touch within minutes and fully cures to a waterproof finish within a few hours.
Can I mix this color with other AK Interactive 3rd Generation paints?
Yes, AK Interactive 3rd Generation acrylics are designed to be intermixable, allowing you to create custom colors.
What is the shelf life of the paint?
When stored properly in a sealed bottle in a cool, dry place, the paint can last for several years.
Is the 'Laser Magenta' color very bright?
The 'Laser Magenta' is a vibrant and distinct shade of magenta, suitable for applications where a strong, eye-catching color is desired.
Does this paint contain toxic materials?
No, the paint is manufactured according to European regulations, ensuring that no harmful substances are used that could pose a risk to the user or the environment.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick for brush application.
Add a tiny amount of water or AK Interactive's thinner to achieve desired consistency. Stir gently.
Paint separation in the bottle.
While the anti-decanters minimize this, gently agitate the bottle by rolling it between your hands if slight separation occurs.
Poor adhesion to the model surface.
Ensure the model surface is clean, dry, and properly primed. A good quality primer is essential for acrylic paints.
Paint appears uneven after drying.
Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Ensure consistent brush strokes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent brush-on performance straight from the bottle.
- Stable formula that doesn't separate easily.
- Dries to a durable, waterproof finish.
- Safe for the user and the environment due to compliant formulation.
- Precise application with the dropper bottle.
Cons
- Specific 'Laser Magenta' color may have limited use cases.
- 17ml bottle size might be insufficient for large projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This paint is designed for immediate use by brush. For airbrush application, it is recommended to dilute the paint with a suitable acrylic thinner (e.g., AK Interactive's own thinner) to achieve the desired consistency. Ensure your airbrush is clean before use.
Compatibility: Compatible with most plastic model kits and common modeling primers. Test on a scrap piece or inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Care: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After use, clean brushes and airbrush equipment immediately with water or an appropriate acrylic cleaner. Seal the bottle cap tightly to preserve the paint.
