How do I clean my brushes after use?

Do I need to prime the surface before painting?

Yes, priming is highly recommended for best results and to ensure paint adhesion.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint dries rapidly, typically to the touch within minutes. Allow sufficient time for complete drying before applying additional coats or handling the model.

Is a varnish required after painting?

A varnish is not required, but it can be applied to protect the paint and adjust the finish (matte, satin, or gloss) as desired.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears too thick or clumpy.

Thin the paint with Vallejo acrylic thinner or a suitable acrylic thinner. Ensure the paint is mixed thoroughly before use.

Uneven finish or brush strokes visible.

Apply thinner coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry completely. Use a quality brush and maintain a consistent application pressure.

Paint not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly primed. Allow the primer to cure completely before applying the paint. Lightly sand the surface if necessary to improve adhesion.
