It is perfect for both hobbyists and experienced scale modelers who need a fast-drying, low-odor paint that works across a wide variety of surfaces, including plastic, wood, and metal.

FAQs
Can I mix Revell Aqua Colour with enamel paints?
No, you cannot mix acrylic and enamel paints together, though you can paint acrylics over cured enamel.
How much should I dilute the paint for airbrushing?
Dilute with a maximum of 20 to 25% water or Aqua Color Mix for best results.
How long should I wait between coats?
You can recoat the surface after one hour, and it will be totally dry within 2 to 3 hours.
Is this paint flammable?
No, the Revell Aqua Colour formula is non-flammable.
What surfaces does this paint work on?
It is suitable for plastic, glass, ceramics, wood, metal, and cardboard.
How do I clean my airbrush after use?
Clean with water immediately after use. If paint has already dried, use Airbrush Clean or Aqua Color Clean.
Troubleshooting
Paint is clogging the airbrush nozzle
Reduce your dilution ratio and ensure you are using a retardant like 'Aqua Color Mix' to prevent tip-drying.
Finish looks uneven or streaky when brushing
Apply thinner coats and allow for the full one-hour drying time between layers to let the paint self-level.
Paint is not adhering to the surface
Ensure the model surface has been thoroughly cleaned and degreased prior to painting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Dries quickly for faster project turnaround
- Environmentally friendly with low odor and no organic solvents
- Suitable for both brush and airbrush application
- Excellent adhesion on various hobby materials
- Easily cleaned up with water
Cons
- Requires careful thinning ratios for optimal airbrush flow
- Cannot be mixed with enamel-based paints
- Needs dedicated cleaners if paint dries completely inside an airbrush
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your surface is clean and free of dust or oils. For brushes, simple water cleaning is sufficient immediately after use. When using an airbrush, flush the system with water right after you finish. If the paint does dry inside the gun, use a dedicated 'Airbrush Clean' or 'Aqua Color Clean' solution. Note that while you can apply these acrylics over existing enamel paints (once the enamel is fully cured), you must never mix the two types of paint together in the same cup.
