FAQs
What is the recommended thinning ratio?
We recommend adding approximately 30% of ATOM-20500 (Cleaner & Thinner) or ATOM-20501 (Cleaner & Thinner Retarder).
Can I use other thinners?
While the paint may work with other thinners, optimal performance is achieved when using MIG's recommended thinners (ATOM-20500 or ATOM-20501).
How do I clean my airbrush after use?
Clean your airbrush immediately after use with the appropriate thinner, following the airbrush manufacturer's instructions.
What kind of finish can I expect?
You can expect a smooth, self-levelling, metallic finish.
Can I apply this paint over other paints?
ATOM paints can be applied over other paints once dry.
What is the best way to store the paint?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the container tightly sealed.
Is this paint suitable for beginners?
Yes, its ease of use and quick drying time make it suitable for modelers of all skill levels.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not flowing smoothly through the airbrush.
Ensure paint is properly thinned and airbrush is clean. Adjust air pressure.
Paint is drying too quickly, leading to a rough finish.
Add ATOM-20501 (Cleaner & Thinner Retarder) to slow the drying time.
Brush strokes are visible.
Apply thinner coats and allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Self-levelling properties will help reduce brushstrokes.
