Using LifeColor:
- Clean surfaces before painting
- For airbrushing, dilute the colour to a milky consistency using water or LifeColor Thinner.
- Airbrush at low pressures between 10 – 20 psi. (Iwata airbrushes give the best performance and atomisation at low pressures.)
- Apply colour in thin coats with a brush or airbrush
- Allow to dry completely between coats
- Clean your airbrush with LifeColor Cleaner or Medea Airbrush Cleaner and flush through with water
