ATOM WASHABLE Dust

AMMO ATOM WASHABLE Dust — a washable acrylic paint, 20 ml

Note: this is not an ordinary top coat. This shade belongs to a special WASHABLE sub-line of the AMMO of Mig Jimenez ATOM acrylic range. It is a modeling paint, not a kit. The idea is simple: the paint is applied as a top layer over an already finished base coat, and until it fully cures it can be partly removed with water. This reveals the color underneath — creating scuffs, chipped paint, wear marks, and dust effects without hand-painting them. The shade is an earthy dust tone. Volume: 20 ml.

Use — how to work with it

• 1. Base coat. Paint the model in the target color and let it dry; it is a good idea to protect the base with a layer of varnish so that the later water scrubbing does not damage it.
• 2. Washable layer. Apply WASHABLE Dust over the base with a brush or an airbrush — it does not need to cover perfectly; unevenness is desirable.
• 3. Water activation. Let it dry briefly, then moisten the area with water. Do not wait longer than an hour — the longer the paint sits, the harder it is to remove.
• 4. Reveal. Gently scrub and scrape with a damp brush, a stiffer bristle brush, or a toothpick. Work small areas at a time, removing more along edges.
• 5. Fixing. After roughly 24 hours the coat is fully cured — it no longer washes off with water and takes washes, filters, pigments, and decal softeners.

What it IS and what it is NOT

It IS a full-fledged acrylic top coat whose purpose is to be partly removed again. It is NOT a wash, a filter, or a pigment. And most importantly: you do not need hairspray or a chipping fluid for it — the washable property is built into the paint itself. It is meant for modelers who want realistic scuffs quickly, without laboriously hand-painting scratches with a brush.

Odorless, water-thinned acrylic. Ventilate the room when airbrushing and avoid inhaling the aerosol. Keep out of reach of children; shake thoroughly before use.
