What it is used for
Magenta is an essential primary colour in any palette. Its high pigmentation makes it particularly useful for colour mixing, highlights and areas of intense saturation. Here are its main applications:
- Scale model painting: uniforms, insignia, markings and decorative details.
- Wargame miniatures: suits, cloaks, ornaments and accent areas on fantasy or science fiction figures.
- Dioramas and military vehicles: civilian elements, signs, decorative features and signage.
- Cosplay: painting foam, resin and thermoplastic pieces where a clean, opaque Magenta is needed.
- Special effects (SFX): base for mixing pink and violet tones in prosthetic make-up and prop elements.
- Artistic airbrushing: primary colour for custom mixes and gradients.
How to use it
- Surface preparation: apply a suitable primer to ensure adhesion. On plastic, metal or resin surfaces, a grey or black primer coat provides the best base.
- Shaking: shake the bottle well before use. The orange dot on the label identifies the Standard range. If the pigment has settled, use a mixing rod or the agitation balls inside the bottle.
- Thinning: for brush use, apply Magenta straight or with a small amount of water or acrylic thinner. For airbrush, thin it by 20–30% depending on your working pressure (recommended 15–20 psi).
- Application: apply in thin, even coats. As this is a highly saturated colour, two coats are usually enough for complete coverage over a light primer.
- Drying: touch-dry time is approximately 15–30 minutes at room temperature. Wait at least 1 hour before applying additional coats or varnishes.
- Cleaning: clean the brush or airbrush immediately after use with water or acrylic thinner.
Tips and tricks
Colour mixing
Magenta is a primary colour in the acrylic pigment spectrum. Mixing it with white gives you soft pink tones, ideal for skin tones or fabric highlights. Combined with blue, you get very clean violets and purples, perfect for magical cloaks or sci-fi uniforms.
Thin coats for greater control
Because this is a highly saturated colour, always work in thin coats. A first light sealing coat or base coat followed by a second covering coat prevents the colour from becoming overloaded and losing definition in the details. If you are working with NMM (Non Metallic Metal) or intense shading, reserve Magenta for areas of maximum saturation.
Airbrush use
For airbrushing, thin it a little more than usual and work at low pressure. Magenta tends to have strong coverage, so very thin coats allow you to build up smooth transitions for zenithal lighting or OSL (Object Source Lighting) effects in warm-to-cool tones.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to thin the paint before using it with an airbrush?
Yes, for airbrush use it is recommended to thin Magenta (AK11067) by 20 to 30% with water or a specific acrylic thinner. The exact dilution depends on your equipment's pressure and nozzle type, but as a starting point work at around 15–20 psi with a 25% dilution.
Is it compatible with other water-based acrylic paints?
Magenta (AK11067) is a water-based acrylic paint and is technically compatible with other paints of the same base. For best results in mixes and layers, combine it with the rest of the AK Interactive Standard range and use thinners and mediums from the same brand to ensure consistency in the finish.
Can I use it over resin and foam without primer?
It is not recommended. On resin, foam or other porous materials, applying a primer beforehand significantly improves the adhesion and durability of Magenta (AK11067). Without primer, the paint may peel or fail to cover evenly, especially on cosplay or SFX pieces that receive frequent handling.
How many coats are needed for full coverage?
With Magenta (AK11067) over a light primer, two thin coats are usually enough for opaque, even coverage. Over a dark primer it may need an additional coat or a prior white base in the area to be painted so the colour does not lose saturation.
Where can I buy this paint in Spain?
You can purchase Magenta (AK11067) from Feroca, the official AK Interactive distributor in Spain. From the Feroca online store you have access to the entire AK Interactive catalogue with up-to-date stock and shipping throughout mainland Spain.
What finish does this paint have once dry?
Magenta (AK11067) presents a satin-matte finish once dry, depending on the dilution and the number of coats applied. If you need an intense matte or gloss finish, apply the corresponding AK Interactive varnish once the piece is complete.
