**Advantages of Acrylic Paint:**
1. Acrylic paint film is theoretically resistant to brittleness and yellowing, promoting the long-term preservation of model works.
2. Acrylic paint is non-toxic, emitting no harmful substances and posing no risk to the human body.
3. Easy to work with, acrylic paint offers a moderate price point in pigment products, delivering high cost performance.
4. Unlike other paints, acrylic doesn’t require special thinners; it can be diluted directly with water (purified water) and is easy to clean before curing.
5. After drying, the acrylic paint layer loses solubility quickly, forming a tough, elastic, impermeable paint film similar to rubber.
6. Acrylic paint boasts full, thick, and fresh colors, maintaining vibrancy without appearing “dirty” or “grey” regardless of mixing.
**Disadvantages of Acrylic Paint:**
1. Acrylic paints offer fewer options for bright metallic colors, limiting choices in this aspect.
2. Film formation in acrylic paint may lead to minor issues in certain corners.
3. While suitable for hand painting, acrylic paint is less conducive to spraying due to its fine particles, requiring more severe dilution.
4. Highly diluted acrylic paint dries slowly, and the color may fade before fully drying (though it remains firm after drying).
