Unlike paint that must be diluted, this paint comes ready for use with an air brush. Its water-based formula can be cleaned up with soap and water, so air brushes are easy to keep clean.

Enhance, renew, and protect surfaces.
Solvent-based paint keeps its color longer than water-based paint when used outdoors. Metallic paint is often used on machinery, piping systems, and equipment.
Water-based paint, also known as latex paint, can be cleaned up with soap and water. Fluorescent paint is highly visible to identify important areas.
Safety-color paint comes in colors approved by OSHA to color-code safety equipment locations, physical hazards, and protective equipment. Safety red indicates danger and is often used on fire protection equipment, containers for flammable liquid, and switches on machinery. Safety orange indicates hazards and is often used on warning signs, construction equipment, and unguarded edges. Safety yellow indicates caution and is often used on tripping hazards, exposed edges, and start buttons. Safety green indicates general safety and is often used to identify first aid kits and other medical equipment and to explain safety procedures. Safety blue is used on “out of order,” “employees only,” and other general-information signs. Safety purple indicates radiation hazards, especially when used with safety yellow.

Spray this paint on the back of glass or clear plastic to create a reflective silver effect on the other side. One coat will create a translucent appearance; use up to five coats for a mirror-like finish. Allow paint to dry for one minute between coats. Apply a layer of clear or flat black paint after all layers dry completely to protect finish from chipping and scratching.
