Acrysion is a water-thinnable line designed so you can work without aggressive solvents and without a sharp smell at the bench. The range is broad: gloss and matt basic shades, clear colours for lights and canopies, fluorescent tones, a flat base for adjusting sheen and base colours intended for robot kits.
It is the choice for a modeller painting at a desk in a living room who would rather not keep solvents at home or build an extraction setup. The notes below cover thinning, the behaviour of the clear and fluorescent tones, and how to adjust sheen without buying a second jar.
The binder is formulated to thin with water, so tools clean up without lacquer thinner and the workspace does not reek. In exchange, the layering discipline matters more: the paint wants light passes and time to cure, because a fresh coat goes on reluctantly over one that has not yet hardened.
For the airbrush, thin with water or the matching thinner to the consistency of milk and spray at lower pressure. Equipment is in the airbrush section, and synthetic-haired modelling brushes handle the detail afterwards.
Clear colours go onto a glossy ground, otherwise they dry grainy and dull. Fluorescent tones cover weakly and only show their brightness over a white or light base, so do not spray them directly onto a dark colour.
Flat base added to a gloss shade lets you reduce sheen gradually without buying a matt version of every tone. The alternative is a final clear coat from the Mr.Color range or a standalone lacquer product.
The base shades for robot kits point directly at GUNDAM kits. For a comparison with other water-thinnable options, open the acrylic model paints overview.
