Mechanical Color Ver. Yellow Semi-Gloss Set

Mechanical Color Ver. Yellow Semi-Gloss Set from Gunze

This is a set of modeling paints of the Mr.Color line, that is, lacquer-based paints. For working with them that is key information: Mr.Color is not an acrylic. It is thinned with Mr.Color lacquer thinner or Mr.Leveling Thinner, not with water, and it does not mix with the Aqueous or Acrysion acrylic lines. The set is semi-gloss and tuned to yellow, which on robot and science fiction models is the typical color of secondary and warning surfaces.

Use

• Thin only with Mr.Color lacquer thinner or Mr.Leveling Thinner, never with water
• Yellow shades cover less well than dark ones, so spray them over a light primer and in more thin coats
• Do not rush the saturation; an excessive coat will flood the relief of small parts
• A semi-gloss surface can be used directly under decals
• Do not mix or combine in one coat with Aqueous or Acrysion acrylics

Who the set is for

The set suits a modeler of robot and science fiction kits who wants the yellow shades harmonized into one semi-gloss finish. It will also come into its own for anyone who uses Mr.Color lacquers regularly and is adding a complete color group to the palette. Anyone who has so far sprayed only water-thinnable acrylics should count on different chemistry, a different thinner and the need for thorough ventilation.

The lacquer and its thinner are flammable and the vapors irritate the airways. Work in a well-ventilated space, ideally in a spray booth, and use a respirator. Keep out of the reach of children and away from open flame.
