Mr. Hobby Aqueous Hobby Color — Flat White

Achieve a smooth, solid, and completely glare-free finish with Mr. Hobby Aqueous Flat White. White can famously be one of the most challenging colors to paint, but this premium acrylic is engineered to lay down smoothly without chalkiness. Part of the world-class Aqueous Hobby Color line, it combines excellent coverage and a dead-flat finish with the safety and ease of a water-based formula.

Key Features:

• Smooth, Chalk-Free Coverage: Specially formulated to provide solid, high-density opacity without the clumping or rough texture often associated with flat white paints.

• Safe and User-Friendly: The water-based acrylic resin formula is low-odor and comfortable to use indoors. It is the ideal choice for hobbyists painting in home environments or those who prefer working without the harsh smells of solvent-based paints.

• Superior Self-Leveling: Formulated to settle evenly across the surface, this paint minimizes brush marks and ensures a clean, uniform finish, resulting in a sleek, factory-quality coat.

• Durable and Versatile: Once fully cured, the flat surface is resilient and provides an excellent base for panel lining, decaling, detail painting, and weathering.

Application Guide:

• Hand Brushing: Stir thoroughly before use with a paint stirrer to ensure the flatting agents are fully mixed. Apply in thin, consistent layers. If the paint feels too thick, a small amount of Aqueous Thinner will improve flow.

• Airbrushing: Thin at a ratio of roughly 1:1 to 1:1.5 (Paint to Thinner). Using Aqueous Thinner is highly recommended to achieve the smoothest atomization and prevent dry-spraying or orange-peel texture.

Pro-Tips for a Perfect White Finish:

The Perfect Base: White pigments are naturally semi-translucent. For the brightest and most even result over dark plastics, always apply a light grey or white primer coat first.

Build Up in Thin Layers: Rather than trying to get full coverage in one heavy pass, apply multiple thin, misted coats. This preserves the fine molding details of your model and prevents pooling.

Cleanup: Clean your tools with water or specialized acrylic cleaner immediately after use. For dried paint in your airbrush, a dedicated hobby tool cleaner is recommended.
