Preparing Paint for Airbrushing

When airbrushing this enamel, thin with an enamel thinner at roughly 2 parts thinner to 10 parts paint to get a steady spray pattern and avoid runs. Multiple thin passes give a smoother final surface than a single heavy coat.

Where to Use This Enamel

This paint is versatile and works beyond RC bodies, proving useful for dioramas, miniatures and various hobby projects where enamel durability and colour depth are needed.

You can blend enamels to adjust shade, but mix small test batches first and use compatible enamel thinners to maintain consistency.
Use an enamel-compatible thinner. Match the thinner to the paint type and follow recommended ratios for spraying to prevent clogging or poor atomisation.
Keep the cap tightly closed and store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to slow evaporation and maintain paint quality.
It will generally adhere to painted surfaces, but light sanding or a primer improves adhesion, especially on glossy or non porous substrates.
