GSI Creos Acryision water-based paint

GSI Creos Acryision water-based paint colors have become a favorite among scale modelers, miniature painters, and hobby artists who want smooth finishes without the strong solvents found in traditional paints. This modern acrylic line combines fast drying, easy cleanup, and reliable adhesion, giving beginners and experienced builders the confidence to work across plastics, resins, metal parts, diorama elements, and custom hobby projects. Acryision offers controlled, predictable results that help painters focus more on creativity and less on troubleshooting.

The Acryision series also stands out because of its remarkably low odor and durable formulation. Artists who paint indoors value this, especially when working in small studios or shared spaces. Even with its gentle smell, these paints deliver excellent pigment load and long-lasting color strength. From vibrant primaries to military tones and highly specialized shades, Acryision paints give modelers the ability to achieve accurate replicas and eye-catching artistic finishes.

The entire line featured in this collection includes dozens of colors, offering both essential tones and specific hobby shades such as IJN Green, RLM variations, warm browns, cold grays, desert tones, vivid reds, and muted camouflage palettes. Whether you are painting aircraft, armor, figures, ships, cars, gunpla, or fantasy miniatures, these paints adapt well to the level of detail and style you need.

What’s in this collection

This collection brings together one of the most complete assortments of Acryision water-based paint colors available in the USA. Modelers appreciate how easy it is to find replacements or expand their palette thanks to the consistent bottle design and naming system.

Among the many tones included here you’ll find:

• Neutral grays in multiple intensities, perfect for panel shading, weathering layers, or scale-appropriate highlights
• Bright primaries that offer clean coverage for figures, accessories, and vibrant details
• Earth tones and military colors such as Olive Drab, Khaki, Sand, Smoke Gray, and Red Madder, ideal for aircraft and armor builds
• Blues and greens in varied temperature ranges for maritime subjects, sci-fi kits, car bodies, and diorama water effects
• Unique historical shades like RLM65, RLM67, RLM74, and IJN-specific colors designed for accurate WWII aircraft modeling
• Specialized paints such as flat versions, metallic accents, or tones balanced for shading and layering techniques

Each color flows smoothly from the bottle and shows consistent results when thinned properly. Acryision paints can be applied with a brush or airbrush, although most hobbyists prefer airbrushing because of the even atomization and quick flash-off time. If you’re layering highlights or building up opacity on large surfaces, the balanced viscosity helps avoid streaking or patchiness.

Another advantage is that Acryision colors are extremely beginner-friendly. If you’re transitioning from craft acrylics or solvent-based hobby paints, the learning curve is short. Cleanup is also simpler because these paints respond to water, mild cleaners, and Acryision-specific thinner. This makes daily workflow easier for artists who paint regularly or switch colors often.

Benefits, uses, and practical tips

Painters often choose Acryision water-based paint colors because they combine convenience with performance. Their water-based nature means you can work cleaner and faster, yet their durability is strong enough for masking, weathering, or multi-layer builds.

A few tips help you get even better results:

• Thin Acryision paints with the dedicated Acryision thinner or a compatible acrylic medium to achieve smooth airbrush flow with excellent atomization
• Apply in light coats to maintain surface detail, especially when painting fine panel lines, rivets, and figure features
• For brush painting, use a slightly retarded mixture to prevent brush marks and extend open time
• Allow each coat to dry completely before applying masking tape to avoid lifting or surface damage
• Prime your model whenever possible; Acryision adheres well, but primer improves durability and helps maintain color consistency
• Shake well before use because pigment particles settle naturally due to the paint’s high color density

Artists also appreciate how Acryision integrates into more complex techniques. You can mix these paints with other acrylics, add weathering effects, apply drybrush highlights, or create shading transitions using controlled airbrush passes. Because the formula is forgiving, mistakes are easier to correct. If you overspray an area, it can often be fixed without harming the underlying details.

This collection is also ideal for hobbyists who enjoy experimenting. Acryision paints accept varnish layers beautifully, whether matte, satin, or gloss. They respond well when spraying metallic effects, applying decals, or building multi-layer finishes on cars, sci-fi models, or figures. With so many tones available, expanding your palette becomes part of the creative process.
