Hobby paints work similar to other kind of paints, by which there's a pigment bound to a resin floating on a solvent, which will be the foundation for the paint naming scheme. The main difference when compared to other paints used in areas such as woodworking is the pigment size, which is far smaller in paints used in scale model, no matter the brand, a fact that allows us to paint scale models without hiding details.
The Mr. Hobby Mr. Color line of paints are all lacquer paints, which means they're incredibly toxic and require personal protection equipment, the most important piece being a respirator with organic vapour filtering capabilities.

In exchange for these added requirements when using them we get the most resistant paint available for scale models, with unmatched shine and colour range. They're also the easiest type of paint to work with when doing certain airbrush techniques, such as metallic or candy coating.
