It’s our commitment to redefining model paints for a new era.
What About
RapidAir™ Technology?
RapidAir™ Technology is Kaleido Colorwork's breakthrough formula that eliminates the common issues of water-based paints like beading, sagging, and uneven coverage. By using precise molecular orientation, it allows paint to lay flat in smooth, even sheets with no primer needed.
The result? Superior adhesion, gloss, and durability on materials like ABS, resin, metal, glass, and more—rivaling solvent-based finishes with a safer, eco-friendly solution.
We're Reinventing What
Water-Based Paint Means To You.
Paints Like Lacquer,
Safe Like Water.
Kaleido Colorworks is formulated without harmful solvents, strong odors, or irritants. Certified under EU REACH & CLP and U.S. ASTM-D4236 standards, it’s safe for indoor use and ideal for long painting sessions in enclosed workspaces while retaining features found only in lacquer paint.
Supports Fast Spraying
We take no compromises in quality and health. Kaleido ColorWorks supports fast spraying just like how you would for lacquer based paint.
No paint beads, sagging or uneven coverage thanks to RapidAir™ Technology.
20ml But Mighty
Our 20ml bottle paint come pre-thinned, but that doesn’t mean weaker coverage.
Our nano-level pigments are the reason you get such strong, even coverage and vivid colors. Pre-thinned simply means it’s easier and faster for you to use.
Estimated Paint Coverage Area
2050 cm²
Scratch Resistant
Thanks to RapidAir™ Technology and a reengineered paint film structure, Kaleido Colorworks forms a dense, sheet-like layer on the surface that resists surface abrasion, tape pull, and decal friction, ensuring long-lasting vibrancy and comparable to solvent-based paints. Great for model kits that requires posing and handling.
Full Curing Time
24 Hrs
Max Strength After
72 Hrs
Strong Coverage
Traditionally, water-based paints need many thin layers to prevent beading or pooling. But with Kaleido’s proprietary RapidAir™ Technology and nano-level pigments, you get strong coverage in fewer coats, even when painting light colors over dark surfaces.
Outstanding Gloss Finish
Our nano-level pigment dispersion forms an ultra-smooth, sheet-like paint film that reflects light evenly. This structure produces a mirror-like gloss comparable to solvent-based paints, without the use of harmful solvents.
Ideal for panel lining, decals, or clear coat layering, Kaleido delivers a showroom-worthy shine straight from the airbrush.

We still encourage you to wear mask to avoid breathing in paint dusts. ;)

Comparison
It took us 3 years to develop Kaleido ColorWorks into what it is today. A hobby paint that performs like lacquer/solvent paint while still being safe like water-based paint. Although the comparison isn't 100% accurate, it should provide you with enough context of where we stand in the market.
Kindly request our safety certifications if you would like to see more.
