Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the chart's integrity and color accuracy, follow these care guidelines: store the chart away from direct, harsh sunlight to prevent pigment fading over time. Keep the surface free from paint splatters or solvent residue by ensuring the chart is placed at a safe distance from your primary airbrushing or hand-painting area. If the chart becomes dusty, wipe it gently with a dry, lint-free cloth.
