Patina Green

🚗 Colour accuracy sells builds. Patina Green reproduces the real-world tone with the pigment density and coverage scale modelers rely on for a factory-fresh result, first coat to last.

Patina Green 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.

Patina Green is a brush-on acrylic colour that is formulated for hand-brushing directly from the pot, with a pigment load tuned for 1:35, 1:48 and 1:72 figures and small detail areas where an airbrush would be impractical. It self-levels well, reducing visible brush strokes on smaller surfaces.

💡 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: Load the brush lightly and apply in thin, multiple layers rather than one thick coat; letting each layer dry fully between passes avoids visible brush marks and keeps fine details, like faces and uniform trim, crisp.
• Finishing: A brush-applied Matte or Satin varnish, thinned slightly with water, protects the finished colour and unifies the sheen across a figure or small assembly without pooling in recesses.

⚠️ 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.
