Kaleido Strike Red Gloss RapidAir Paint

Kaleido Strike Red Gloss RapidAir is a premium water-based model paint developed for smooth, precise airbrush application. Supplied in a 20ml container, this bold red paint combines strong coverage with a native high-gloss finish, making it ideal for body panels, armour sections, contrasting details, accent areas and custom colour schemes.

Proprietary RapidAir Technology helps the paint settle into smooth, even sheets while reducing common water-based paint problems such as beading, sagging and uneven coverage. It produces a lacquer-like result without harmful solvents or odours, providing a safe, eco-certified and environmentally responsible option for indoor model painting.

Pre-Thinned for Airbrush Application

Strike Red is pre-thinned specifically for airbrushing and works with airbrushes featuring a 0.3mm nozzle or larger at 10 PSI or higher. Its nano-level pigments support precise gradients, strong colour coverage and thin coats that preserve fine surface detail while helping to reduce clogging.

The approximately 15-20 minute surface drying time supports an efficient painting process without drying so quickly that it obstructs the airbrush or so slowly that it interrupts progress. Its strong coverage also helps create an even red finish without relying on multiple coats.

High Gloss and Lasting Durability

With an 85GU gloss level, Strike Red creates a smooth, polished surface directly from the airbrush. This high-gloss finish provides a suitable base for crisp panel lining and water decal application. Once dry, the scratch-resistant coating stands up well to handling, masking and assembly, making it especially useful for mecha kits that may be posed after painting.

Strong Adhesion Across Multiple Materials

This Kaleido paint adheres to a wide selection of modelling and creative materials, including ABS, PC, PE, resin, metal, glass, fabric and wood. No primer is necessary, helping to streamline preparation while maintaining a smooth and dependable finish.

Strike Red brings together bold colour, precision application and a durable lacquer-like appearance. Its pre-thinned formula, fine pigments and reliable adhesion make it a practical choice for detailed models where consistent red coverage and a polished surface are essential.
