Red Leather Design

🔥 Serious modelers standardise on colours they can trust. Red Leather Design is formulated for predictable coverage and true colour rendering, so every session ends with a finish you're proud to display.

Red Leather Design 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.

Red Leather Design 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 Pink or White Primer is highly recommended. Because red and orange pigments are naturally translucent, a bright, uniform base ensures maximum colour saturation and prevents the paint from losing its original brilliance.
• 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.
