Compared to traditional model paints, this color is solvent-based acrylic, ensuring enhanced adhesion and a professional finish that outperforms many older enamel or brush paints. It is notably thinner than many brush-on paints, making it ideal for fine airbrushing techniques but unsuitable for brushing. Use of primer is recommended on metal surfaces and plastics for optimal results. Over time, the paint’s thinner media may evaporate from the soft plastic bottle, but the pigment can be revived with a compatible thinner or ‘Rejuvenator’ for long-lasting usability.
