Black

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

Black reproduces a solid factory tone frequently seen on real vehicles and equipment. Solid colours are formulated for maximum, even opacity in fewer coats than metallics or candies, making them a dependable starting point for painting a full model body or a large flat surface.

Black 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 Black or Grey Primer works best under this dark tone, reinforcing depth and helping the colour reach full density in fewer coats.
• 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.
