FAQs

Is this paint safe for all plastic models?

Yes, the synthetic resin formula is specifically designed to be safe for use on plastic model surfaces without causing damage.

Can I mix this grey matte paint with other colors?

Yes, all Revell enamel shades—except for signal colors—can be mixed together to create custom shades.

How long should I wait before handling the model?

While the paint is dry enough for a second coat in 4-6 hours, it requires 24 hours to cure completely.

What should I use to thin the paint?

You should use 'Revell Colour Mix' for optimal results and consistency.

Can I use this on materials other than plastic?

Yes, many DIY enthusiasts use this enamel on various materials, though we recommend a small test patch first.

How do I clean my airbrush after using this paint?

Use 'Revell Airbrush Clean' to flush the system thoroughly immediately after you finish painting.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears too thick for airbrushing

Thin the paint using 'Revell Colour Mix' until it reaches a milky consistency suitable for your airbrush settings.

Brush strokes are visible on the model

Apply thinner coats and allow for proper self-leveling time; using a softer brush can also improve finish quality.

Paint is not drying within the expected window

Ensure the application environment has adequate airflow and moderate humidity; high humidity can significantly delay drying times.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Safe for use on delicate plastic surfaces
  • High-quality matte finish that hides imperfections
  • Suitable for both brush and spray gun application
  • Colors are easily mixable for custom color matching
  • Professional consistency and reliable coverage

Cons

  • Requires specific cleaning solvents for equipment
  • 24-hour wait time for the paint to fully cure
  • Limited to a 14ml volume per tin

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before opening the 14ml tin, ensure your workspace is well-ventilated. Stir the paint thoroughly to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed, as synthetic resins can settle over time.

  • Compatibility: This paint is compatible with plastic models and other materials frequently used in hobby DIY projects.
  • Cleaning Brushes: Immediately after use, clean brushes using 'Revell Painta Clean' to ensure the bristles remain soft and usable for future projects.
  • Cleaning Airbrushes: Always use 'Revell Airbrush Clean' to flush the spray gun thoroughly; leaving enamel residue inside the nozzle can cause permanent damage to the airbrush components.
  • Storage: Ensure the lid is pressed firmly onto the tin after each use to prevent the paint from drying out or thickening.
