Full details
This Revell Aqua Color acrylic paint in Matt Yellow (RAL 1017) is ideal for model builders and hobbyists seeking a versatile, water-thinnable paint for plastic kits and models. Its key benefit lies in its quick drying time and low odor, making it user-friendly for indoor projects.

FAQs
Can I mix this yellow paint with other Revell Aqua Color shades?
Yes, all Revell Aqua Color paints are intermixable, allowing you to create a wide range of custom colors.
How long does the paint take to dry completely?
The paint is completely dry after 2 to 3 hours. You can apply a new coat after just one hour.
Is this paint suitable for beginners?
Yes, the water-thinnable formula, mild odor, and quick drying times make it very beginner-friendly.
Can I use this paint on materials other than plastic?
While primarily designed for plastic models and kits, it may adhere to other sealed surfaces, but testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended.
What is the best way to clean my brushes after using this paint?
Clean your brushes immediately after use with plain water. For stubborn or dried paint, use Revell Aqua Color Clean.
Can I use this paint with an airbrush?
Yes, it is suitable for airbrushing. It is recommended to thin the paint with approximately 20-25% water or Revell Aqua Color Mix for best results.
Does this paint have a strong smell?
No, Revell Aqua Color paints are mild-odoring, making them more pleasant to use indoors compared to solvent-based paints.
What is the difference between Aqua Color and Email Color?
Aqua Color is water-thinnable acrylic paint with a mild odor, while Email Color is a solvent-based enamel paint. They are not directly mixable but can be painted over each other after proper drying.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick for airbrushing.
Thin the paint with Revell Aqua Color Mix or water (up to 20-25%). Ensure you are not over-diluting, which can lead to poor coverage.
Brush strokes are visible on the model.
Apply paint in thin, even coats using a good quality brush. Allow each coat to dry partially before applying the next. Consider using a retarder like Aqua Color Mix to extend drying time for smoother application.
Paint does not adhere well to the surface.
Ensure the model surface is properly cleaned and primed. Remove any mold release agents or greasy residues before painting.
Airbrush nozzle is clogging.
Clean the airbrush frequently during use. Ensure paint is adequately thinned and free of dried particles. Using Aqua Color Mix can help prevent premature drying in the airbrush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the model surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. For best results, apply a primer suitable for plastic models. Shake the 18ml paint container thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for use on plastic models and kits. It is compatible with other Revell Aqua Color paints. It can be painted over existing Revell Email Color enamel paints (14 ml) after proper drying, but cannot be mixed directly with them. For airbrushing, dilute with water (max 20-25%) or Revell Aqua Color Mix.
Care: Store the paint container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean brushes, airbrushes, and other tools immediately after use with water. If the paint has dried on equipment, use Revell Airbrush Clean or Revell Aqua Color Clean.
