Using Liquid Pigments
Shake well before use. The Liquid Pigments can be mixed together in order to obtain new colours. The Liquid Pigments can be applied by brush, airbrush or any method you prefer. Once applied, the Liquid Pigments can be removed partially or completely from the treated surfaces using a brush or a cotton bud moistened in the Remover. If just applied, you can remove the Liquid Pigments just with water. However, the use of the Remover is always recommended because it will completely eliminate the very dark stains or blots from light surfaces. It is most preferable to use Liquid Pigments on satin or gloss surfaces and if you apply a second layer with a different colour the pigments will mix together so in order to avoid that, seal the work with a thin coat of transparent satin clear (Lifecolor LC77 or similar). Note though that any such sealed layer will no longer be removable.
Brush application
Apply Liquid Pigments neat or diluted with water. To highlight panel lines, lightly moisten the panel lines with water and touch Liquid Pigments to the corners of the junction; or follow the groove with a fine brush dipped in the chosen Liquid Pigments. Remove traces that have leaked from the panel lines with the Remover. To emphasise bolts or protruding details, moisten the areas to be treated and apply the chosen Liquid Pigments with a brush. The excess Liquid Pigments can be removed completely or faded out with a brush. The Liquid Pigments can be used win the same manner as oil paints, so they can be drawn over an area or mixed directly on the treated areas with a dry brush or any other tool. They can also be used as a filter for modulating light or dark areas on a surface.
Airbrush application
Apply Liquid Pigments with an airbrush without adding water. Remove or correct the product with brushes or other tools that have been moistened with the Remover. It is also possible to move or accumulate the Liquid Pigments on a surface by spraying it away with the Remover using the airbrush after the Liquid Pigments has dried or by blowing air onto the Liquid Pigments before the Liquid Pigments has dried.
Applying with a sponge (chipping)
Moisten a sponge or similar in the Liquid Pigments, remove any excess on paper then apply to the model.
Each set retails for £17.50 and is available from The Airbrush Company, so visit their website to find out more details or to place an order.
