Cioccollato Ferrari Leather
Description
🔥 Serious modelers standardise on colours they can trust. Cioccollato Ferrari Leather is formulated for predictable coverage and true colour rendering, so every session ends with a finish you're proud to display.
Cioccollato Ferrari Leather is formulated for interior and cockpit detailing, where finishes are typically flatter and less saturated than exterior bodywork to avoid glare and to match the real fabrics, plastics and leathers used inside a vehicle's cabin. Ferrari's competition cars have carried a shade of red since the international racing colour convention of the early 20th century assigned red to Italy, a tradition Maranello has guarded and refined ever since across F1, GT and road-car liveries.
Cioccollato Ferrari Leather is an acrylic paint that is water-based and formulated for brush and airbrush use alike. Its pigment grind is tuned for 1:24 to 1:72 scale kits and 1:32/1:35 figures, giving smooth coverage without swamping raised detail, and it cleans up with water rather than solvents.
💡 Laboratory Application Tips
- Preparation (Primer): A neutral Grey Primer is recommended as a safe, all-purpose base that preserves the true tone and opacity of this colour without biasing it warmer or cooler.
- Painting Technique: Thin slightly with water or acrylic thinner and apply in several light passes rather than one heavy coat; acrylics dry fast, so overlapping strokes should be kept light to avoid lifting the layer underneath.
- Finishing: Seal the finished colour with an acrylic-compatible Gloss, Satin or Matte varnish once fully cured, to protect the surface and even out the sheen before weathering or decals.
⚠️ Chromatic Fidelity Notes
Real Scale vs. Miniature: This formula is adjusted to counter the "scale effect," so light reflection on the miniature stays proportional to the real vehicle or object rather than looking artificially pale or dark.
Visual note: Product photos are for reference only. The full three-dimensional depth and true pigment brilliance only become visible once the model is painted and properly clearcoated.
