Good tip: These water-based paints are best applied to a slightly rough, absorbent surface. When applied to bare plastic or metal, there may be a problem with poor adhesion of the paint at the beginning. Therefore, it is best to prepare the surface of the model, for example, by spraying it with some modeling base paint, for example Vallejo Surface Primer. Subsequent work with Vallejo Air paint is subsequently much more comfortable and the result is absolutely perfect.

Mix the paint well before use. Apply to a well-degreased, dry, clean surface. Always close the paint well, because it dries with air access. Always wipe the top of the container dry, do not let the paint residue dry even on the edge. This will extend the shelf life and life of the paint.

Dilution: Use plain clean water or Vallejo original thinner. If you use another thinner, the color may deteriorate.

Painting: The paint is supplied in such a dilution that it can be used immediately in the spray gun. It is usually too thin for painting. For small repairs, it can be applied with a brush gradually in several layers.

Spraying: For spraying, the paint is supplied in a diluted state, but if necessary, you can dilute it appropriately with water/thinner, according to the type of airbrush and other spraying parameters. To improve the flow of paint through the nozzle of the spray gun, we recommend using Vallejo Flow Improver, which significantly increases the comfort of spraying.

Drying time: Against the touch, the paint literally dries "before your eyes" within a few minutes. Drying can be accelerated by using a hair dryer. Complete drying takes approximately 2 hours, depending on the thickness of the layer. For further painting/spraying with a new layer, just wait a few minutes for the original layer to dry.

Cleaning: Wash immediately with water after using the device. While the paint is fresh, it can be completely washed off without leaving any traces. To clean the spray gun, we recommend using Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner (71099 or 71199).
