FAQs

Can I mix Revell Aqua Colour with enamel paints?

No, you cannot mix these acrylic paints with enamel paints. You can, however, paint over a dry enamel layer with Aqua Colour.

How long should I wait before applying a second coat?

You can overpaint a coat after just one hour of drying time.

Do I need a special thinner for this paint?

While water works for thinning, using 'Aqua Color Mix' is recommended for airbrushing as it prevents the paint from drying too quickly in the nozzle.

Is this paint flammable?

No, the paint is not inflammable and contains practically no organic solvents.

Can I use this on metal parts?

Yes, it is suitable for use on a variety of surfaces including plastic, glass, ceramics, wood, and metal.

Troubleshooting

Paint clogging the airbrush nozzle

Dilute the paint more carefully, ensuring the ratio does not exceed 25% water, and use a drying retardant like Aqua Color Mix.

Paint finish appears streaky when brushed

Ensure the paint is properly thinned with a small amount of water to improve flow and work in thin, multiple layers.

Paint peeling off the plastic surface

Ensure the model surface was thoroughly cleaned or degreased before painting to ensure a proper bond.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick drying time allows for faster project completion
  • Low odor formula is safer and more comfortable for indoor use
  • Easy cleanup with water or mild cleaners
  • Excellent brush-on finish that rivals airbrush quality
  • Highly versatile across multiple material types

Cons

  • Requires careful thinning ratios for optimal airbrushing
  • Not compatible with mixing into enamel-based paints
  • Small 18ml container may require bulk purchase for large projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your target surface is clean and free of dust or oils to maximize adhesion. When applying via brush, ensure your brush is slightly dampened to facilitate a smooth flow. If you are airbrushing, flush the device with water immediately after finishing to prevent paint buildup. If paint has dried inside the airbrush, use specialized 'Airbrush Clean' products. You can paint these acrylics over existing enamel paints, but ensure the base layer is completely dry first; never mix acrylic and enamel paints directly in the same container, as they are chemically incompatible.
