COBRA BLUE PERFORMANCE MOTOR

Cobra Motor Blue Performance: the blue of the Hyundai i20 WRC in your model

The Cobra Motor range from AMMO is designed to meet a very specific need of the modeller: to accurately reproduce the colours of real competition cars. The reference AMIG0333 — Cobra Motor Blue Performance is the acrylic paint designed to capture the unmistakable blue of the Hyundai i20 WRC bodywork, that vibrant and deep tone that has featured in memorable stages of the World Rally Championship.

Applications

This paint is primarily intended for competition modelling, both in static models and in figures and dioramas. Its acrylic formulation makes it versatile for various common substrates in the hobby:

• Bodywork of static models of rally cars in any scale.
• Diecast replicas and miniatures that require repainting or touch-ups.
• Dioramas and competition scenes where the Hyundai i20 WRC is the protagonist.
• Customisation and modification projects for slot models with suitable bodywork.

Finishes

The Cobra Motor range from AMMO is calibrated to provide uniform coverage and a colour faithful to the original. The Blue Performance features a saturated and bright hue, characteristic of the competition liveries of the Hyundai i20 WRC. The final finish will depend on the varnish or protective layer you apply over it, allowing you to adjust the level of gloss according to the needs of your project.

Application Tips

• Airbrush: dilute the paint with distilled water or compatible acrylic thinner until the appropriate viscosity is achieved. Apply in thin, crossed layers for even coverage.
• Brush: also suitable for brush application in touch-up areas or on small parts. Use a good quality synthetic hair brush to avoid marks.
• Surface: always apply over a primed or sealed base to ensure adhesion and fidelity of the final colour.
• Layers: apply several thin coats instead of one thick layer; this avoids build-up and achieves a cleaner finish.
• Cleaning: clean the airbrush or brush immediately after use with water or acrylic thinner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What competition car is this colour formulated for?

The Cobra Motor Blue Performance AMIG0333 is specifically formulated to replicate the blue of the bodywork of the Hyundai i20 WRC, the car with which Hyundai Motorsport has competed in the World Rally Championship.

Can it be applied with both airbrush and brush?

Yes. As it is an acrylic paint, it supports both techniques. For airbrush, it is advisable to dilute it slightly; for brush, it can be used directly or with minimal dilution in touch-up areas.

Does it require a primer?

We recommend always applying a layer of primer on the piece before painting. This improves adhesion, enhances colour saturation, and ensures a more durable and faithful result to the original.

Is it compatible with varnishes and finishing coats?

Yes. Once dry, you can apply matte, satin, or glossy varnish over it depending on the finish you are looking for in your project. Always check the compatibility of the varnish with acrylic paints before use.

What scale do you recommend for using this paint?

There is no scale restriction; it is valid for any model or miniature. It is particularly comfortable to work with in scales 1/24, 1/32, and 1/43, although it also adapts well to smaller scales with the appropriate dilution.
