Pigment NASCAR White

Pigment NASCAR White from AMMO of Mig Jimenez

NASCAR White is a loose modeling pigment in a white shade from the Spanish brand AMMO of Mig Jimenez. The name points to the world of oval racing, where white is among the most common colors of bodies and accessories: this is a white pigment powder for finishing work.

What a pigment is and what it is not

A pigment is a powder, not a liquid product. It does not run into recesses like a wash and does not shift the tone of a whole area like a filter: it is applied dry and works exactly where you put it. It does not replace a covering paint and does not suit large areas. The volume of the package, the composition and the recommendations for sealing the application are given on the packaging of the pigment itself; follow that information while you work.

Use

• With a dry brush apply a thin layer to the places you want to lighten or dust.
• White shows strongly on a dark base, so start with a genuinely small amount.
• Suitable for light deposits on running gear, fenders and lower surfaces.
• It is also used to bring out edges and relief, where light dust would naturally settle.
• Loose excess can be wiped off with a clean dry brush.

Who the pigment is for

For modelers who work with racing and civilian vehicles, and for anyone who needs a light powder to lighten areas or to suggest light deposits. It comes into its own on vehicles, aircraft and dioramas where the surface is meant to be dusty or faded.

Safety: this is a fine powder. Do not inhale it, work in a ventilated area, open the container calmly so that the dust is not stirred up, and wash your hands afterwards.
