Specialist Paints for Vehicle Models

Zero Paints are high-quality model lacquers developed specifically for painting model cars, motorcycles, and racing or rally vehicles. Their key feature is the faithful reproduction of original paint colors used by actual vehicle manufacturers. All paints are pre-thinned and ready for immediate use with an airbrush, which significantly simplifies the painting process. The cellulose-based (lacquer) formula ensures excellent adhesion, fast drying, and high resistance to mechanical damage once fully cured. This makes them the ideal choice for modelers who seek maximum realism and a durable finish for their replicas.

Application and Key Tips

Painting with Zero Paints is straightforward but requires following a few key rules. Due to their composition, it is essential to work in a well-ventilated area and use a respirator mask with organic vapor cartridges. The paint is best applied with an airbrush at a pressure of 1-2 bar. It is recommended to apply several thin coats instead of one thick one to achieve a smooth, even surface. Always use a suitable primer under the color coat—typically gray, white, or black, depending on the target color. After the base coat is applied and dry, the model should be protected with a clear coat (gloss, satin, or matte), which not only protects the paint but also provides the desired finish and depth.

Our range includes both individual base colors and dedicated paint sets for specific vehicle models. We also stock a wide selection of primers, clear coats, and thinners from Zero Paints, which together form a complete and reliable painting system.
