Application Tips

• Base Coat Preparation: Apply over a smooth, glossy black base (e.g., Acrysion) and allow it to dry for at least 24 hours before applying Mirror Silver.
• Airbrushing Technique: Mist on the paint in thin, light layers to achieve the desired mirror effect. Avoid heavy application to prevent loss of gloss.
• Top Coating: After the Mirror Silver layer has dried thoroughly, it can be coated with a water-based clear topcoat like Acrysion Clear. Note that this may slightly reduce the mirror effect.
