The dead matt finish of these paints makes them perfectly suited to shade the panel lines and recesses of your models. You can also imitate dirt and streaking effects by spraying fine lines with the airbrush. They can also be used to slightly alter the base colour by adding a few drops of Shader in order to simulate more heavily weathered surfaces. They can also be applied with a brush to outline or darken a specific area. The Matt Shaders can be removed with water and provide working time, cures completely within 24 hours. If you want to dilute these colours to achieve a more transparent effect, use the Acrylic Thinner (A.MIG-2000) or Transparator (A.MIG-2016).
