ICM acrylic paints – characteristics

ICM acrylic paints are water-based products with good coverage. They are suitable for painting plastic and resin models and figures, blend well with each other and allow the shade to be matched to a specific painting scheme.

For airbrush spraying the paint is thinned with water or an acrylic thinner; for brush painting it can be applied directly from the bottle or after slight thinning. Tools are cleaned with water after use.

How to use:

Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Apply the paint to a clean, degreased surface, preferably over a primer coat. For airbrushing, thin with water or an acrylic thinner. Metallic colours (Aluminium) look best over a smooth, gloss base. Apply successive coats once the previous ones have dried.
