AK 3G Intense Colors Set

AK Interactive 3G Intense Colors Set – 6 High-Pigment Acrylic Paints for Vibrant Glazes, Effects, and Color Mixing

• Pure Pigment, Maximum Saturation – The Intense label in the AK 3rd Generation range means these paints contain a higher proportion of pure pigment and less opaque filler than standard hobby acrylics. The result is deeper, more saturated color straight from the dropper — ideal for glazes, color mixing, and anywhere you need vibrancy that standard paints cannot deliver.
• Six Core Colors That Stay Vivid When Mixed – Deep Yellow, Deep Orange, Deep Red, Deep Purple, Deep Green, and Deep Blue give you a full-spectrum palette of saturated tones. Because these rely on pure pigment rather than opaque additives, intermediate mixes stay vibrant instead of turning muddy or chalky.
• Thin to Transparent Glazes Without Losing Color – Diluted to a wash-like consistency, these paints tint the underlying surface with clean, saturated color instead of washing out. That behavior is what makes them effective for power weapons, glowing lenses, gemstones, energy blades, and OSL effects.
• Full-Strength Coverage on Light Primers – Applied undiluted over a white or light grey primer, two thin coats produce a rich, saturated base coat. The matte finish dries flat and does not require an intermediate varnish before layering additional techniques over it.

📝 Product Description

Standard hobby acrylics achieve their opacity by blending colored pigment with white or grey fillers. That works well for base coats and solid coverage, but it also means the color desaturates the moment you try to thin it into a glaze or mix it with another hue. The AK Interactive 3rd Generation Intense Colors Set (AK11612) takes a different approach: each of the six paints is loaded with pure, high-density pigment and minimal opaque filler. Deep Red stays a true, vivid red even when diluted to a transparent glaze — it does not shift pink or wash out the way a standard acrylic red would.

This makes the Intense Colors Set a fundamentally different tool from a standard paint set. Where a standard set gives you solid coverage, this set gives you color intensity that holds up through glazing, wet blending, and layered transparency. Scale modelers painting saturated liveries, racing stripes, or high-visibility markings will find the same advantage — the color reads as bold and clean even in thin coats over large panels.

💡 How to Use

Shake each bottle thoroughly before use. As a Glaze: Thin with water or AK 3rd Gen Thinner (AK11500) to a highly diluted consistency and apply in smooth passes over a lighter base coat. The pigment tints the underlying color without obscuring it, building up saturation with each layer — this is the technique for painting convincing energy effects, stained-glass-style gems, and color-shifted reflections. For Color Mixing: These paints retain vibrancy when mixed together. Blending Deep Yellow with Deep Red produces a vivid orange, not the muted brownish tone you would get from mixing standard opaque acrylics. Clean brushes immediately with water or AK Perfect Cleaner.
