However, many other materials can also be painted from the 14 ml lacquer can, which is popular with many hobbyists. All colours - except signal colour - can be mixed with each other and can be diluted with 'Revell Color Mix'. This means that the paint can be applied not only with a brush, but also with a spray gun. The cleaning agent used is 'Revell Painta Clean' for the brushes and 'Revell Airbrush Clean' for the spray gun.
