Frequently Asked Questions
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
This Alclad II lacquer enamel is designed for hobby and model painting applications. It works best on plastic, metal, and resin model components. Always test on a small inconspicuous area first if using on unfamiliar surfaces.
Does this paint need to be thinned before application?
Lacquer paints typically require thinning for optimal airbrush or brush application. Check the product instructions or use Alclad II's recommended thinner for best results with this formula.
How much coverage does 1 oz provide?
Coverage depends on application method and surface area. A 1 oz bottle typically covers multiple small model pieces or provides several thin coats, but exact coverage varies based on your specific project size and coating thickness.
Is this paint suitable for airbrushing?
Yes, Alclad II lacquers are popular for airbrushing hobby models. You'll need to thin it appropriately and ensure good ventilation, as lacquers produce strong fumes during application.
How do I clean brushes and equipment after using this paint?
Use lacquer thinner to clean brushes, airbrushes, and tools immediately after use. Do not let the paint dry on equipment, as lacquer hardens quickly and can be difficult to remove.
What finish will this paint provide?
This Candy Electric Blue enamel delivers a gloss metallic finish with a bright blue tone ideal for scale models and detailed hobby work.
