ATOM by AMMO by Mig – Next-Gen Acrylic Paints for Demanding Modelers

When it comes to taking your modeling projects to the next level, it's not just about picking a new color or brand. It's about finding a paint line that truly addresses the real challenges we face: achieving uniform coverage, ensuring strong adhesion (preferably without primer), smooth flow through the airbrush, quick yet controlled drying, and, most importantly, consistent results. ATOM by AMMO by Mig Jimenez delivers on all fronts. This isn't just another evolution in acrylic paints—it's a new benchmark.

Designed for modelers seeking versatile, reliable paints ready to use without stringent conditions, ATOM combines the benefits of water-based acrylics—safe, odorless, easy to clean—with professional-grade performance akin to lacquers. That means self-leveling properties, no brush marks, direct adhesion to plastic without primer, and fast drying that preserves fine details without the need for multiple layers.

Perfect Matte Finish from the First Coat

One of the standout features you'll notice when trying ATOM is its smooth, clean, and uniform matte finish, achieved effortlessly. Unlike other paints that require a primer or light base coat to perform well, ATOM adheres directly to clean plastic surfaces, delivering solid coverage from the first application.

Even with challenging colors like white, red, or yellow—which often need multiple coats or a light base—ATOM provides excellent coverage. This translates to less work, reduced material usage, and more professional results. Its consistency allows for smooth application with both brush and airbrush, without necessitating changes to your tools or techniques.

Full Control with or Without Thinner

ATOM can be applied straight from the bottle, but it also mixes well with distilled water, standard acrylic thinners, or the exclusive ATOM thinners which ensure consistent flow and preserve the paint’s properties. For even greater control, especially in warm climates or for projects needing smooth blending, there’s also a thinner with integrated retarder.

Thanks to its balanced composition, this paint doesn’t clump or pool. Even when over-applied, it self-levels upon drying, keeping surface details sharp. ATOM also works seamlessly with AMMO products like F-500 Retarder or Transparator to adjust transparency, and is fully compatible with most other water-based acrylics.

Extensive Range of Colors, Finishes, and Themes

The range of individual colors in this SprayGunner-exclusive collection is vast. You’ll find military colors, sci-fi tones, urban palettes, historical camouflages, rust tones, metallics, washable paints, and much more. The metallic range delivers realistic shine and strong coverage, while the washable colors are perfect for natural weathering and aging effects.

ATOM also offers 6- and 12-color themed sets organized by historical era, vehicle type, or palette. Some are classic—WWII, Russian vehicles, aircraft camo—while others are exclusive to SprayGunner, like “Only Reds,” “Greens,” or “Grays.” These sets make it easier to build a complete paint library for any project efficiently and affordably.

Combined Sets with AMMO Products: More Than Just Paint

What makes this SprayGunner collection unique is the inclusion of combo kits that feature not just ATOM paints but also complementary AMMO products like enamel washes, weathering effects, pigments, and grime finishes.

For example, sets like “Aircraft Interiors USA WWII” and the “Fury Sherman Weathering Starter Set” include ATOM paints along with all the extras you need for a complete weathered look. This is perfect for modelers who want cohesive, ready-to-go solutions in a single package.

You’ll also find large thematic kits like the “Special ATOM Green Set”, offering over a dozen green tones tailored for military, sci-fi, or nature-heavy civilian builds.

Is It Only for Expert Modelers?

Definitely not. While ATOM has the capabilities of a pro-grade paint, it’s made to make life easier for all modelers. Beginners will love how easy it is to apply, how well it covers, and how fast it dries. And if you’re a veteran hobbyist, you’ll recognize right away that this line was designed with you in mind.

There’s no steep learning curve—ATOM adapts to your tools, your pace, and your style.
