About product

The color of unpainted fabric

The shade captures the look of canvas and doped fabric, that is the material from which vehicle tarpaulins, tents, covers and the skinning of older aircraft were made. The tone is unobtrusive, between beige and light gray, because unpainted fabric never has a clean color. It is precisely this unobtrusiveness that is wanted on a model: a tarpaulin should look like textile, not like painted sheet metal.

Paint properties

The colorant carries a volatile lacquer binder, so water thinners are out of the question. Only the brand's own product can thin it, usually in a dose of around half the volume. The bottle holds ten milliliters; the cured film takes a wash, with which the folds of canvas are drawn out.

How to turn the paint into textile

  • Apply the base shade evenly and let it dry
  • Emphasize the folds with a darker wash and wipe the excess off along the direction of the fabric
  • Go over the raised places with a dry brush in a lighter tone
  • Dirty the lower edges, as tarpaulins were rubbed precisely there

Canvas on a model often looks too smooth, because a plastic part has no fabric texture. A contrast between light edges and dark folds can replace that better than any paint on its own.

Where the color is used

  • Tarpaulins of trucks and trailers
  • Tents, shelters and camouflage nets
  • The skinning of the wings and fuselages of older aircraft
  • Packs, bags and the fabric parts of equipment

Canvas on real vehicles rarely looked new. It therefore pays to leave part of the surfaces darker and to dirty the lower edges more markedly, because that is exactly where the material rubbed against the body and picked up dust from the road.

FAQ

For vehicle tarpaulins, tents, covers and the skinning of doped fabric.

Unpainted fabric never has a clean color. The unobtrusiveness is deliberate, as a tarpaulin should look like textile, not like painted sheet metal.

By contrast: a dark wash into the folds and lighter dry-brushing on the raised places.
