How do I clean my brushes?
Clean brushes immediately after use with Humbrol Enamel Thinners.
Can I apply multiple coats?
Yes, it is recommended to apply multiple thin coats for the best results, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
How much area does a 14ml tin cover?
A 14ml tin covers approximately 0.3m² depending on the thickness of application.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
While the paint is durable, its suitability for outdoor use depends on the specific application and exposure to the elements. Consider a clear protective coat for outdoor projects.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not drying properly.
Ensure the room temperature is within the recommended range. Check the humidity levels, as high humidity can affect drying times. Apply thin coats and allow sufficient drying time between coats. Ensure the surface is clean and free of contaminants.
Paint is too thick for airbrushing.
Thin the paint with Humbrol Enamel Thinners. The recommended ratio is 2 parts paint to 1 part thinner. Ensure the airbrush is clean and functioning correctly.
Paint finish is uneven.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid over-brushing or over-spraying. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.
Brushes are difficult to clean.
Clean brushes immediately after use with Humbrol Enamel Thinners. Soak the brushes in thinner to remove dried paint.
