The SUPER CHROME THINNER (AK9199) is the official thinner and cleaner designed specifically for AK Interactive's Super Chrome paint. Unlike a generic thinner, this special formula lets you adjust the viscosity of the chrome paint without degrading its reflective properties or losing the mirror effect that defines the range. It also works as an effective cleaner for airbrushes, brushes and work surfaces. Available in a 60 ml bottle with a dropper cap.

What it is used for
This thinner is essential when working with Super Chrome paint AK9198. Using an incompatible thinner can ruin the mirror effect irreversibly. With AK9199 you adjust the paint for airbrushing safely and clean your equipment without leaving residues that could affect future applications.
- Thinning Super Chrome paint for airbrushing, adapting the viscosity to the needle type and working pressure
- Recovering Super Chrome paint that has thickened in the bottle
- Cleaning the airbrush after using chrome paint, removing residues effectively
- Cleaning brushes used with the Super Chrome range
- Cleaning the work surface or palette after chrome paint sessions
- Scale models of vehicles, aircraft or armour where realistic chrome parts are required
- Miniatures and figures with high-gloss metallic finishes
- Cosplay and SFX projects where a mirror chrome finish is needed on custom pieces
How to use it
- Paint preparation: Shake the Super Chrome AK9198 bottle well before thinning. Pour the required amount of paint into the airbrush cup or onto the palette.
- Thinning: Add the SUPER CHROME THINNER drop by drop until you reach the right consistency. Start with small amounts and adjust gradually. Do not mix with water or thinners from other ranges, as this will destroy the chrome effect.
- Application: Apply the thinned paint with an airbrush over a well-cured black base coat. The black base coat is essential to achieve the maximum mirror effect.
- Drying: Allow to dry according to the Super Chrome paint instructions. Do not touch the surface until it is completely dry to avoid marking the finish.
- Airbrush cleaning: Pour SUPER CHROME THINNER directly into the cup and flush the airbrush until it runs clean. Repeat if necessary.
- Brush and desk cleaning: Soak the brush in the thinner and remove paint residues with a cloth or absorbent paper.
Tips for use
Always use the correct thinner
Super Chrome paint has a very specific formulation to achieve the mirror effect. Any thinner not designed for this range can alter the formula and ruin the finish. AK9199 is the only recommended thinner for working with AK Interactive's Super Chrome.
Clean the airbrush immediately
Chrome paint can dry quickly inside the airbrush. Do not let time pass between the end of the session and cleaning. Use SUPER CHROME THINNER immediately to prevent blockages and keep the airbrush in top condition.
The dropper cap makes all the difference
The bottle includes a cap designed for precise dispensing. This lets you add the thinner drop by drop without wasting product or over-thinning. Always keep the bottle tightly closed to prevent the thinner from evaporating.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use water or a standard acrylic thinner to thin chrome paint?
No. AK Interactive's Super Chrome paint has a specific chemical base that is not compatible with water or conventional acrylic thinners. Using any other product will destroy the mirror effect of the paint. AK9199 SUPER CHROME THINNER is the only thinner formulated for this range.
Can this thinner be used to clean the airbrush after using chrome paint?
Yes. AK9199 also acts as an effective cleaner for the airbrush, brushes and work surface. It is recommended to clean the airbrush immediately after each Super Chrome session to prevent blockages.
How much thinner should I add to the paint?
It depends on the starting viscosity and the type of airbrush. The usual approach is to add SUPER CHROME THINNER drop by drop until you achieve a fluid but not excessively liquid consistency. Always test on a scrap piece before applying to the final model.
Is this thinner compatible with other metallic paints from AK Interactive?
AK9199 is formulated specifically for the Super Chrome range. For other metallic paints from AK Interactive, such as the Xtreme Metal range, check the recommended thinner for each range. Do not use SUPER CHROME THINNER with paints it was not designed for.
Where can I buy this product in the UK?
AK9199 SUPER CHROME THINNER is available at Feroca, official distributor of AK Interactive in Spain. You can purchase it directly from the Feroca online store with delivery across the peninsula.
Is a black base coat necessary before applying the thinned chrome paint?
Yes. A black base coat is essential to achieve the mirror effect characteristic of AK Interactive's Super Chrome. A well-cured, smooth black surface is the foundation on which chrome paint reaches its maximum reflective potential. Without it, the result will not be satisfactory.
