AK gouache paints are a combination of opaque pigments mixed with a water-based binder.

They create vibrant, saturated colors that are ideal for creating matte, opaque layers. AK gouache paints can be applied over conventional acrylics, enamels and oil paints, as well as plastic, paper, cardboard and other types of materials. They have a short drying time. AK gouache paints are great for applying matte shades of rust, earth, dirt and other weathering. They can be easily diluted with tap water to achieve different effects. The biggest advantage of AK gouache paints is that once dry, they can be reactivated with tap water to improve the effect achieved or to mix with another color. Gouache is a paint that can be mixed with a variety of fillers such as gypsum, sand or earth to achieve greater thickness and consistency as needed.

To date, most scale modeling enthusiasts have relied on oil- and enamel-based products for model weathering.

Emals have many advantages, but acrylic products can offer interesting benefits and finishes. In any case, combination, balance and familiarity with the products are key to achieving a realistic result. The problem with acrylic weathering products is that they require skill during application because they dry quickly. Once dry, they are difficult to remove if you are not satisfied with the result. AK Interactive's line of weathering gouaches has found a solution to these problems. AK Interactive has arrived at a formula that they found easy and effective for modelers to use when weathering their models. They designed a product that has an authentic matte finish and that can be mixed with a brush moistened with tap water. We also felt it was important that gouache paints could be easily reactivated as many times as necessary to achieve a satisfactory finish. The paint is non-toxic and easy to use. Gouache paints are an excellent, versatile weathering medium, suitable for modelers of all skill and experience levels. This acrylic paint can be used in combination with other weathering products. Enamel-based products can be applied over gouache paints without reactivating them. AK Interactive acrylic gouache paints are designed specifically for weathering effects and are not suitable for painting base color on models.
