Olive green

Olive green - an acrylic paint from AMMO of Mig Jimenez

A water-based acrylic modeling paint in an olive green shade. Acrylics of this kind are thinned with water or with the acrylic thinner of the same maker, they are applied with a brush and with an airbrush alike, and once dry they can be overcoated with further layers without worry. The volume of the bottle is given on the label; check any match with a standard FS or RAL shade with the manufacturer.

An important distinction: this is an acrylic paint, not an oil product. The same name for a shade is also carried by a weathering oilbrusher and by oil paints from other brands - those have a different chemistry, a different thinner and a different use, and they are not interchangeable with this paint. What you are buying is an opaque paint, not a patina product.

Use

• A base opaque shade for uniforms, canvas, equipment and crates
• The green areas of vehicles and accessories in a diorama
• Brush application on small parts and figures
• Airbrushing once thinned - thin the paint gradually, not all at once
• Mixing with other acrylics of the same range for shading and highlighting

Who the paint is for

For modelers of vehicles, figures and dioramas who work with water-thinnable acrylics and want a safe paint that is easy to correct. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use, as the pigment settles to the bottom. On smooth plastic the paint holds considerably better over a filler primer. You will make the work easier by laying several thin coats instead of one heavy one - the covering power improves and the sharpness of the engraved detail is kept.

Keep out of the reach of children and close the bottle carefully after use. When spraying with an airbrush, use respiratory protection and ventilate well, even though it is a water-based paint.
