The Candy Indigo Enamel Airbrush Paint by Alclad II is a must-have for model builders seeking a vibrant finish. Ideal for injection plastic kits, this high-quality paint requires a primer for optimal application. We recommend using Tamiya Plastic Primers (white or grey) or Auto Primer (white or grey) to create a smooth, glossy base. Applying these primers ensures that the paint adheres properly and avoids issues like crazing.
For best results, use the Candy Indigo over a dark glossy base, such as Tamiya TS-14 gloss black or any gloss black auto paint. When spraying, maintain a distance of 1.5 to 2.5 inches from the model and adjust the air pressure to 15-20 psi for optimal flow.
This enamel paint allows for tonal variations, which can be achieved by selectively polishing panels with a micromesh. No sealer is necessary, and while masking and overpainting are possible, avoid using decal solutions with chrome finishes.
