Grip.Coverage.Detail.
Straight onto PLA, PETG, ABS and ASA. No primer needed.
Today at 6:00 PM CEST: 3D Model Color is here.
The time in this morning's email was wrong — we apologize. Sales start today at 6:00 PM CEST. From then on, all tones can be ordered right here. It pays to be on time.
3D Model Color is the color system made for 3D prints: 129 tones plus six system mediums – from the first coat to the finish. Water-based and filament-safe, developed and made in Bludenz, Austria.
No compromises for 3D prints
Artist acrylics struggle to grip smooth filament, and model paints need primers or attack sensitive plastics with solvents. 3D Model Color is the third way: a paint developed for 3D printing.
Direct adhesion
Bonds reliably to PLA, PETG, ABS and ASA filaments, even without a primer. Unbox, shake, paint.
Filament-safe
Water-based instead of solvent-based: gentle on common filaments, so your print stays intact.
Maximum pigmentation
Full coverage from a thin coat. Fine details and deliberately visible textures stay razor sharp.
129 tones. Eight families. One system.
129 tones built to work together – triads for highlight and shadow, glow tones for fantasy, metallics for the finish. Every tone carries a clear name like “Light Skin Midtone (830)”: reorder in seconds, never “the brown one” again.
Highlight. Midtone. Shadow.
Family D thinks in triads: three matched tones on neighboring numbers – base, highlight, deepen, done. Six triads at launch.
The Light Skin triad: 3.101.828.106 · 3.101.830.106 · 3.101.832.106
Fantasy glows.
For tabletop, fantasy and sci-fi: family E brings the glow tones, family H adds fluo, ColorShift and metallics – from spell glow to orc armor.
A modular system
Six system mediums, and each answers a real question from the print bed. Everything sold separately, everything made to work together.
Primer
Not an adhesion primer – the paint grips on its own. Primer lays down a color-neutral base, especially on dark filaments, supporting an even, vivid coat of color whenever you need it.
Leveler
Your answer to layer lines: evens out ridges from larger nozzles and visually smooths surfaces.
3D Model Color
The paint itself: highly pigmented, satin finish, outstanding adhesion and coverage straight onto typical 3D-printing materials.
Varnish
Protection for hard-working pieces, UV protection included – in matte, satin and gloss. For everything that gets picked up.
Retarder
Tunes flow and open time for airbrushing: smooth gradients instead of a dried-up nozzle.
From print bed to showpiece
Tabletop & miniatures
Triads, washes and glowing fantasy tones for crisp details.
Scale models & dioramas
Vehicles, terrain and realistic surface effects.
RC & outdoor
Tough surfaces for bodies, shells and scale details.
Cosplay & wearables
Helmets, armor and accessories with a hard-wearing finish.
Props & display
Props and showpieces with a professional look.
Home decor & interior
Lamps, decor objects and decorative prints.
Real color, not printed.
The ibex head on the label is not printed artwork – it is a cut-out window in the label itself. What you see is the paint inside the bottle.
The window always shows the actual tone – before you buy, and on the shelf.
Tone number and name sit in the same spot on the label, the shop tile and the box.
Developed and made by color makers in Bludenz, Austria.
