3. Impostazione

3.1 Preparazione della vernice

• Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed before use. Use a stir stick or shake the bottle vigorously until a consistent color and texture are achieved.
• For optimal results, allow the paint to reach room temperature before application.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1 Brush Painting

• Apply paint directly with a suitable brush.
• For thinner coats or smoother application, dilute the paint with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner. Start with a small amount of thinner and adjust as needed.
• Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat for the best finish and to avoid brush marks. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.

4.2 Airbrushing

• Dilute the paint with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner to achieve the desired consistency for airbrushing. A common starting ratio is 1 part paint to 1-2 parts thinner, but this may vary based on your airbrush type, nozzle size, and desired effect.
• Use an eyedropper or similar tool to transfer the thinned paint to the airbrush cup.
• Maintain appropriate air pressure (typically 15-25 psi) for even application. Test on a scrap piece first.
• Apply in light, even passes to avoid pooling or runs. Overlap passes slightly for uniform coverage.

5. Manutenzione

5.1 Strumenti di pulizia

• Pennelli: Clean brushes immediately after use with water or Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner. Ensure all paint residue is removed to prolong brush life.
• Aerografo: Thoroughly clean your airbrush after each use with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner to prevent clogging. Disassemble and clean components as recommended by your airbrush manufacturer.

5.2 Conservazione

• Securely close the bottle cap after use to prevent the paint from drying out.
• Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and freezing temperatures.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

• Paint too thick / Clogging airbrush: Dilute further with Tamiya X-20A Acrylic Thinner. Ensure thorough mixing before use.
• Uneven application / Streaks: Apply thinner coats. Ensure proper dilution and consistent airbrush pressure. For brush painting, use a high-quality brush and smooth, even strokes.
• Slow drying time: Ensure thin coats are applied. Allow adequate ventilation in your workspace. Humidity can also affect drying times.
• Variazione di colore: Note that actual colors may vary slightly depending on monitor settings. Always test paint on a scrap piece before applying to your main project to confirm the desired shade.
• Poor adhesion: Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared. A suitable primer may be necessary for certain materials.
