S101 Smoke Gray - (Gloss) Spray

Gunze Mr.Color Spray S101 Smoke Gray (a lacquer aerosol, 40 ml)

A lacquer spray from the Mr.Color range by the Japanese brand Gunze. Note - it is a semi-transparent, tinting smoke gray with no covering power. The base stays visible and the paint only darkens it toward smoke. It is not a covering paint but a tinting lacquer for smoke effects. A 40 ml package, applied straight from the aerosol without an airbrush.

Use

• Shake it for 1 to 2 minutes before use and spray thin coats from a distance of about 25 cm.
• Tinting clear parts toward smoke - canopies, covers, glazing.
• Darkening headlights and tail lights for a realistic smoked look.
• Smoke effects, shadows, soiling and grading exhaust streaks.
• You tune the intensity by the number of coats - each further thin coat darkens the surface more, so add them gradually.

Who it is for

For modelers who need a tinting (transparent) smoke lacquer rather than a covering paint - for cars, aircraft and science fiction models. It combines with clear coats and silver bases; for final protection it can be gone over with a clear coat.

Mr.Color is a lacquer - the solvent may attack bare plastic and some clear parts, so test it and spray in thin coats. Work only in a well-ventilated area or outdoors and use a respirator. Flammable, so do not spray near open flame. In damp or cold conditions the surface may whiten into a haze.
