LifeColor paints are water based acrylic colours for modelling and hobby painting. They are excellent for both paint brushing and airbrushing onto plastic, resin, metal, vinyl, wood, cloth and ceramic.
This wide range of paints includes basic gloss and matt colours and mimetic, based on the Federal Standard 595b correspondence and each label shows the equivalent FS number.
The range offers many paints grouped into convenient sets for specific subjects, including tanks, aircraft, uniforms/figures, ships, railways and weathering.
The acronym NMM stands for ‘Non Metallic Metals’, in reference to the proceeding designed to reproduce metal surfaces using non-metallic colours.

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
