Mr. Hobby's Mr. Color has been a standard model paint for over 40 years since its release, receiving high praise from modelers around the world.
<Product Features>
With a rich array of colors, it can be used to paint various model genres such as characters and scales (tanks, planes, ships).
It uses a wide variety of pigments and metallic particles, often providing better coloration than water-based paints (especially metallic and blue paints).
As it's a solvent-based paint, it dries quickly.
After drying, the paint film is hard and a beautiful glossy surface can be obtained.
The resin used has a good thickness, forming an optimal paint film.
<About dilution and the number of times to paint>
When painting with Mr. Color, it needs to be diluted appropriately with Mr. Color Thinner.
Mr. Color Thinner can also be used to clean brushes and airbrushes used with Mr. Color.
Compared to water-based paints, the paint viscosity is higher. If it's difficult to paint with a brush, add Mr. Color Thinner (Guideline: Paint: Thinner = 1: up to 1). Also, by adding a few drops of the exclusive Mr. Retarder Mild, the drying speed will decrease, and brush strokes can be reduced.
When airbrushing, dilute the paint in accordance with its viscosity, with a guideline of paint 1: up to 2 thinner. When using an airbrush, don't paint all at once. For the first time, just lightly paint the whole, and then apply thin overcoats 2-3 times.
<How to adjust from gloss to semi-gloss/matte>
The glossiness of Mr. Color can be adjusted with C30 Flat Base. To make a semi-gloss finish, mix about 5-10% of Flat Base into the paint. Also, by mixing about 10-20% of Flat Base into the paint, it becomes a matte finish. By adjusting the ratio of Flat Base, you can adjust to various levels of glossiness.
Please note:
It is a paint that contains organic solvents. Please ensure good ventilation during and after use.
You cannot use it mixed with other model paints, other than Mr. Color and Mr. Color GX.
