Usage

A solvent-based, fast-dry paint developed for use on plastic model kits but which can also be used on other substrates. Matt, satin, gloss, metallic, Metalcote, and clear finishes are available (finish varies by colour).

Substrate

A wide range of surfaces including most plastics, wood, glass, ceramics, metal, cardboard, sealed plaster, sealed hardboard, and more (always try on a small test area to check suitability).
