For the best results when diluting for use with an airbrush, we recommend using Lifecolor Thinner, but water can also be used.

To use Lifecolor paints:
1. Clean surfaces to be painted
2. For airbrushing, dilute the colour to a milky consistency using water or LifeColor Thinner.
3. Airbrush at very low pressures.
4. Apply colour in thin coats with a brush or airbrush
5. Allow to dry completely between coats
6. Clean your airbrush with airbrush cleaner and flush through with water
This bundle is available to buy now from the Key Model World Shop.
