About product

What a translucent paint is for

A translucent paint differs from a covering one in that it does not hide the base, it only tints it. A blue translucent shade therefore suits glazing, the lenses of position and landing lights, beacons and reflectors, and everywhere you are meant to see through. The second major use is on a metallic glossy base: under a translucent coat the gloss of the base stays legible and the surface takes on the color cast of a painted car body or of tempered metal.

How to apply the paint

Shake the bottle properly before work. The shade is built up by the number of coats, not by the strength of one of them, so apply thinly and let the surface become tacky between coats; after every coat the tone is a little more saturated and there is no way back. The base should be smooth and glossy, because every matte irregularity is emphasized under a translucent coat. Choose the thinner and the thinning ratio according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging, both for a brush and for an airbrush; an airbrush gives a more even result on large areas than a brush.

  • a translucent blue shade; it tints the base instead of covering it
  • suitable for glazing, position lights and beacons
  • usable for toning glossy metal surfaces as well
  • apply in thin coats; the shade is built up gradually
  • the thinner and the thinning ratio according to the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging

What to watch out for

Try the saturation first on a piece of scrap plastic with the same base as you have on the model. On clear parts work with a small amount of paint, so that the edges and the frames of the glazing are not flooded.

Terms of supply

The thinner, brushes and the model are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It does not cover the base, it only tints it. The resulting tone therefore depends on what is beneath it and on the number of coats applied.

A thinner intended for this range, in the ratio given in the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. The same applies to applying it with an airbrush.
