FAQs

Can I mix this with enamel paints?

No, you cannot mix Aqua Color acrylics with enamel paints, although you can paint over a fully cured enamel base.

How long should I wait before overpainting?

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

Is it safe for children to use?

The formula contains practically no organic solvents and is mild-odoring, making it a much safer alternative to solvent-heavy paints.

What is the best way to clean my airbrush?

Flush with water immediately after use. If the paint has dried, use specialized products like Aqua Color Clean or Airbrush Clean.

Can I use this for brush painting?

Yes, it is designed for excellent brush coverage, providing a surface finish that is comparable to airbrushing.

Does it need a primer?

While the paint adheres well, using a primer is always recommended for the best durability and color vibrance on plastic models.

Troubleshooting

Paint is drying too quickly in the airbrush

Switch from water to Aqua Color Mix, which acts as a retardant to keep the paint workable longer.

Paint finish is too thin or watery

Ensure you are not exceeding the 25% dilution limit; try using less water or thinner.

Paint clumping in the container

Stir the paint thoroughly using a dedicated mixing stick until the pigment is completely suspended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Mild odor makes it ideal for indoor use
  • Non-flammable composition for safer storage
  • Compatible with existing Email Color enamel bases once cured
  • Excellent surface leveling qualities for brush painters
  • Fast drying allows for overpainting in as little as one hour

Cons

  • Cannot be mixed with enamel-based paints
  • Requires careful water dilution ratio for airbrushing
  • Needs specific cleaners like Aqua Color Clean if paint dries in the airbrush

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure your model surface is clean and free of oils. Shake the container thoroughly before opening to ensure pigments are well-distributed. If you are using an airbrush, test your dilution on a scrap piece of plastic first to ensure flow consistency.

For cleaning:

  1. Brush users can clean tools simply using tap water.
  2. Airbrush users should flush the unit with water immediately after finishing a session.
  3. If paint residue hardens, utilize `Airbrush Clean` or `Aqua Color Clean` to safely restore your equipment.

Always store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is snapped tight to prevent premature thickening of the remaining paint.
