Bright Orange

Bright Orange — an acrylic paint from AMMO of Mig Jimenez

A vivid orange shade from the acrylic line of the manufacturer AMMO of Mig Jimenez. The binder is acrylic, that is, water-thinnable: you thin the paint with water or with an acrylic thinner of the same type and wash the tools right after work, while the layer has not yet dried. It is not a weathering product and not an oil paint — under the same shade name the manufacturer also lists a product from the weathering branch for the drybrushing technique, so when choosing, watch which line the item belongs to.

Use

• Brushwork and, once thinned to the consistency of milk, spraying with an airbrush as well.
• Signal and warning areas, training markings, tanks and accessories on equipment.
• Car and motorcycle models, where a clean and vivid tone is needed.
• Mixing your own shades — orange binds well with yellow and with red.

Work tips

Rich warm shades generally have weaker covering power than earthy colors, so it pays to apply them over a light ground — a white or gray primer — and to build the color up in several thin coats instead of one heavy one. Shake the paint thoroughly before use, as the pigment settles to the bottom when it stands. Once dry, pull a varnish compatible with acrylics over the surface, and only then apply decals and weathering.

Who the paint is for

For modelers who work in acrylic technology and will appreciate a paint without the penetrating smell of solvents, suitable therefore for work in an apartment as well. The shade will be used by builders of aircraft, of ground equipment, of cars and of dioramas.

Keep out of the reach of children. Ventilate when spraying with an airbrush and protect your airways. Close the bottle carefully after work, as acrylic dries in the air.
