Should I use Waterbased or Enamel
paints?
Through our own personnal experience we recommend waterbased paints as they
both act and appear identical to enamels but also have a number of advantages
and only one minor limitation as detailed below:
Advantages of using waterbased paints:
• Admiralty Paints Waterbased paints are touch dry far quicker than
enamels, meaning less time waiting around and more time modelling.
• Admiralty Paints Waterbased paints offer a better one coat
coverage than enamels.
• Admiralty Paints Waterbased paints can be thinned down with
water to produce ‘washes’ whereby the surface is coloured by the
paint but the underlying grain and natural wood is still visible.
• Admiralty Paints Waterbased paints are non harmful.
• Using Admiralty Paints Waterbased paints means paint
brushes, clothing, skin etc. can all be washed in water; there is no need
for chemical cleaners.
Limitation of using waterbased paints:
• Some components that require soaking can not be pre-painted. For example
some modellers will paint the wale planking prior to soaking in water, bending
and attaching to the model. If a waterbased paint has been used, depending
upon how long it was left to dry, the colour may bleed onto surrounding timber.
