IPANEMA BROWN AUDI

🏁 Get the exact tone real vehicles wear. IPANEMA BROWN AUDI is formulated for scale modelers who won't settle for 'close enough' when the judges — or their own eye — start looking for flaws.

IPANEMA BROWN AUDI represents a colour tied to Audi's competition and road-car heritage. Audi's Quattro rally programme of the 1980s introduced some of the World Rally Championship's most dominant liveries, and its Le Mans prototypes later carried the brand's factory colours to repeated overall wins.

IPANEMA BROWN AUDI is a lacquer paint that is engineered specifically for airbrush application. Its fine micro-pigmentation is optimised for 1:18, 1:20, 1:24 and 1:43 scales, preventing heavy paint buildup over delicate body lines, engraved panel gaps and carbon-fibre weave detail. The paint comes pre-thinned and ready to spray, giving smooth atomisation straight out of the bottle. Metal flake settles unevenly if sprayed too wet, so slightly drier, well-atomised passes keep the flake orientation even across the surface.

💡 Laboratory Application Tips

• Preparation (Primer): A Black or dark Grey Primer is recommended for metallics: a dark base deepens the metal flake and gives the finish the same three-dimensional depth seen on the real vehicle, rather than a flat, chalky sheen.
• Painting Technique: Apply in thin, wet-yet-controlled coats with slightly overlapping passes. Because lacquer levels itself as it flashes off, thin layers build density without hiding fine surface detail or creating an orange-peel texture.
• Finishing: A dedicated Gloss, Satin or Matte Clearcoat, matched to the real vehicle's factory sheen, should be applied afterwards to protect the colour coat and seal any decals before final polishing.

⚠️ 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.
