Cobra Motor Paints by AMMO – Professional Acrylic Paints for Automotive Scale Modeling

In the world of automotive modeling, color is more than just aesthetics—it’s a technical choice that affects realism, visual impact, and the final finish. That’s why a high-quality, versatile, and reliable paint line is essential for modelers who want to replicate real-life automotive finishes at scale.

Cobra Motor Paints by AMMO by Mig Jiménez, available at SprayGunner, was developed precisely with this goal in mind. Every color is accurately formulated to replicate the most iconic automotive colors—whether from classic cars, modern sports vehicles, or racing legends. The collection also includes dedicated paints for interiors, tires, exhausts, metal detailing, and plastics.

Advanced Formulation and Professional-Grade Performance

Cobra Motor Paints are water-based acrylic paints designed primarily for airbrush use, though they also allow for detail work with a brush. Despite being acrylics, they behave like professional lacquers, offering smooth flow, excellent leveling, and uniform coverage.

They are non-toxic and safe for indoor use, with no need for special ventilation. Each bottle contains 30 ml of product and includes a built-in stainless steel agitator for quick and efficient mixing. They perform best at 25–30 psi with a nozzle size of at least 0.3 mm.

A Paint for Every Vehicle Component

What sets this line apart is its range of specialized paints. Cobra Motor Paints lets you recreate every part of the car with precision:

  • Bodywork: Colors like Gulf Orange, British Racing Green, MP4 Red, Rosso Metallizzato replicate authentic shades from Ferrari, McLaren, Ford, and Porsche.
  • Interiors: Shades like Saddle Leather, Wood Brown, Caramel Leather, Dashboard Black recreate realistic seats, dashboards, and interior trim.
  • Tires and Plastics: Use Rubber Black, Tire Black, Satin Black, or Matte Black to distinguish between rubber, vinyl, and plastic components.
  • Exhausts and Metallic Parts: Colors like Alcoa Aluminum, Chrome Trim, Titanium Burnt, Steel Blue simulate chrome, polished metal, or burned steel with high fidelity.
  • Transparent Colors: Clear Red, Clear Orange, Clear Smoke offer control for lights, glass, and other translucent elements.

This selection allows modelers to work without improvising or mixing, achieving realistic finishes with confidence.

Tips and Best Practices for Cobra Motor Paints

Many modelers new to this paint line often wonder how to get the best results. To clear up any doubts, here are some essential tips:

  • Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds—each bottle includes a steel agitator to ensure even mixing.
  • Apply thin, even coats, letting each layer dry before the next to avoid runs or pooling.
  • For better flow, use the Cobra Acrylic Thinner, specially formulated to extend work time and improve smoothness.
  • When using advanced techniques like washes, filters, or pigments, protect the paint with 2K clear coat (available at SprayGunner), along with its dedicated hardener and cleaner.

Themed Paint Sets for Complete Projects

Beyond individual bottles, Cobra Motor Paints is available in themed sets created for specific projects. Each includes historically accurate color combinations:

  • Legendary Reds Set: Designed for red sports cars like Ferrari or Alfa Romeo.
  • Classic British Cars Set: Includes tones like British Racing Green for brands like Jaguar, Mini, or Aston Martin.
