Mr. Color HUG AQUEOUS Series

Mr. Hobby is finally expanding the lineup of Gundam-specific colors into the water-based Aqueous line of paints! So far they've added Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam, and Gundam Seed to the lineup.

The solvent contained in Aqueous Hobby Color paint is very mild. It provides a glossy texture and very good leveling qualities (ie the smoothness of coated film of paint), resulting in a very good level of painted finish. In particular, the gloss level achieved with the use of Aqueous Hobby Color gloss paints is excellent.

Gloss levels obtained using gloss coat Aqueous Hobby Colors can be adjusted by using H-40 Flat Base - mix approximately 5% of H-40 Flat Base to convert gloss colors to a matt finish, or 5 to 10% for a semi gloss finish. The percentage of Flat Base used can be adjusted to vary the amount of gloss level obtained.

It is not necessary to dilute Aqueous Hobby Color for brush painting as a basic rule, but if using an airbrush to spray Aqueous Hobby Color, dilute the paint with 100 to 150% Mr.Aqueous Hobby Color Thinner (T-110 0r T-111).

When brush painting, generally 1 to 2 coats are recommended, and 2 to 3 coats when using an air brush. If painting a light color over a darker base surface, more coats of paint may be required.

* Aqueous Hobby Color is a very safe paint which has a high degree of user friendliness.
* The type of paint is different from the UG part number "Gundam Color" series. Colors cannot be mixed.
