Which Type of Paint Should I Use: Humbrol Enamel or Acrylic Paint?

Humbrol Enamel paint is solvent based, dries to a hard finish and come in a wide range of colours and finishes.

Our Enamel Paint can be used on a wide range of surfaces including most plastics, wood, glass, ceramics, metal, cardboard, sealed plaster, sealed hardboard and many more.

Humbrol Acrylic paint is a fast drying paint containing pigment in acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry, making then clean and safer for younger painters and modellers.­

Our Acrylic Paint can also be used on a wide range of surfaces including most plastics, wood, glass, ceramics, metal, cardboard, sealed plaster, sealed hardboard and many more.

Please Note: All Humbrol products must be used at room temperature for them to mix and work correctly.
