Humbrol Acrylic No 196 Light Grey Satin (14ml) DB0196

Humbrol Acrylic Paints offer an advanced, water-based solution for hobbyists and model painters who demand reliability, ease of use, and a professional finish. Packaged in convenient 14ml tins, these paints are ideal for use on plastic, metal, wood, glass, and ceramics. Whether applied by brush or airbrush, the second-generation Humbrol acrylics provide excellent coverage, smooth application, and quick drying times.

One of the key benefits of Humbrol is its improved formulation. The paint has been re-engineered to offer better pigment distribution and greater opacity, meaning fewer coats are needed to achieve a vibrant, consistent finish. The paint flows evenly and dries to a durable, uniform surface that can withstand handling and the demands of further detailing or weathering techniques.

The water-based nature of acrylics makes them a safer and more accessible choice for users of all experience levels. They are low-odour, non-toxic when dry, and easy to clean up with water. This makes them particularly suitable for indoor use and for modellers working in shared spaces or family environments.

With a wide range of military, civilian, and fantasy colours available, Humbrol Acrylic Paints are perfectly suited for a variety of projects — from historical dioramas and military vehicles to aircraft, figures, and railways. The paints are compatible with most primers and topcoats and work well in combination with washes and decals.
