FAQs
Is this paint ready to use straight from the bottle?
Yes, it is formulated for direct brush application, though it may need thinning for airbrushing or specific washes.
Can I mix this with other paint brands?
It is generally compatible with other high-quality water-based acrylics, but testing on a scrap piece first is recommended.
How do I clean my airbrush after using this paint?
Flush the airbrush with a dedicated acrylic airbrush cleaner or a mix of water and alcohol to remove all residue.
Does it require a primer?
For best results and durability, apply the paint over a quality model primer.
Is the finish matte or glossy?
The 3rd Generation acrylics typically dry to a natural matte or satin-matte finish.
How long does it take to fully cure?
While it is dry to the touch in minutes, allow 24 hours for the paint to fully cure and reach maximum durability.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears separated in the bottle
This is normal for acrylic paints; shake the bottle vigorously or use a stainless steel mixing ball to restore consistency.
Paint is too thick for fine detailing
Add a small amount of acrylic thinner or a drop of flow improver to the paint on your palette until the desired viscosity is reached.
Tip dry occurring during airbrush use
Reduce your air pressure slightly and ensure the paint is sufficiently thinned with a dedicated acrylic retarder or thinner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, ensure the bottle is shaken vigorously for at least 30 seconds to re-incorporate the pigments and resin. The dropper tip allows you to place a small amount onto a wet palette, which will help extend the drying time during long painting sessions. For cleanup, use distilled water or a dedicated acrylic brush cleaner to remove residue from your brushes. Avoid using harsh solvents, as they can degrade the acrylic resin. When not in use, ensure the cap is tightened securely to prevent the paint from hardening within the nozzle. Store the bottle in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the chemical integrity of the pigments.
