Mission Models acrylic line of paint is non-solvent based and odorless. They have invested hours of time researching and developing this new line to meet their high standards and the ability to offer the best paints for scale modelers and graphic artists. Their paints incorporate finely ground, high quality lightfast pigments. Their formula is triple pigmented and does not include any additional thinners or reducers which in time can cause a break down of the paint and diminish shelf life and quality.
Because the paint is triple pigmented and ultra fine you will find that it offers superior and beautiful coverage utilizing thin coats from the airbrush. Due to the fact that the pigments are so fine, spraying through airbrushes with .015 and .2 needles found on many airbrushes is not a problem as with many other hobby paints.
These paints are airbrush ready and can spray straight from the bottle with no issue and minimal tip dry. Mission Models does recommend adding one or two drops of Mission Models Polyurethane Intermix when spraying straight from the bottle for enhanced flow and slower drying time when atomizing from the airbrush tip.
These paints have been extensively tested in all conditions, from winter cold to 105 degrees with 90% humidity, with virtually no tip dry and no clogging of the airbrush. Although Mission Models paint is designed for airbrushing, it is also ideal for brush painting.
Mission Models Paints will accept all manufactures clear coats without conflict. Yet Mission Models recommends using Mission Models clears.
Oil and enamel rendering, tinting and washes will pose no problems.
Mission Models also offer Thinners which is technically a reducer. Mission Models acrylic Thinner/Reducer acts as two different products. It's your thinner and your airbrush cleaner. Many other products on the market require a separate reducer, flow enhancer, thinner and AB cleaner. Not this one! Simply add the thinner to your paint, mix to the recommended ratio, 20-30% to 1. ( 2 or 3 drops thinner to 10 drops paint) and you're done.
Although the paint performs flawlessly straight from the bottle, thinning it down with Mission Models Thinner / Reducer brings out the best. Mission Models thinner is also your airbrush cleaner. It is NON ammonia based and will not strip the finish off your tools.
