FAQs

What is Speedpaint 2.0 formula?

Speedpaint 2.0 is a range of one-coat acrylic paints designed to provide instant shadows and highlights with a single application, simplifying the painting process.

Can I use this marker on plastic or metal miniatures?

Yes, the Speedpaint Marker can be used on both plastic and metal miniatures, provided they have been properly primed first.

How do I store the Speedpaint Marker?

Store the marker horizontally with the cap securely fastened to ensure the ink remains fluid and the tip does not dry out.

What is the 'Orc Skin' color?

Orc Skin is a bold, saturated green color that is ideal for painting orcs, goblins, and alien creatures, offering a vibrant and consistent finish.

Do I need any other supplies to use this marker?

No, the Speedpaint Marker is designed for a brush-free experience. You only need the marker and a primed miniature.

How long does the ink last?

The ink's longevity depends on usage intensity and storage. Consistent proper capping and storage will help maximize its lifespan. The marker is not refillable.

Can I layer this marker over other paints?

It is best applied over a primer. While it can be layered over other fully dried acrylics, using it as intended over primer provides the optimal Speedpaint effect.

Troubleshooting

Marker not laying down color evenly

Ensure the cap was on securely and the marker was stored horizontally. Gently agitate the marker or try writing on a scrap surface to get the ink flowing. Check if the tip is clogged and clean it gently with a damp cloth if necessary.

Tip feels dry or scratchy

The tip may have dried out. Ensure the cap is replaced immediately after use. Try rehydrating the tip by pressing it gently onto a damp cloth for a few seconds.

Color appears dull or less vibrant than expected

Ensure the miniature surface is properly primed. Apply a second coat if necessary, allowing the first coat to dry completely. Shake the marker well before use.

Accidental application on the wrong area

Allow the paint to dry fully. Small mistakes can often be carefully scraped away with a hobby knife or covered with a different color once dry. For larger errors, it may be best to strip the paint and re-prime.

  • Applies the popular Speedpaint 2.0 formula for quick shading and highlighting.
  • Felt-Tech tip allows for both detailed work and broad coverage.
  • Requires no additional tools like brushes or palettes, reducing setup and cleanup.
  • The Orc Skin color is a strong, vibrant green suitable for many fantasy miniatures.

Cons

  • This is a single color marker, limiting immediate color variety without purchasing more.
  • The marker format might not offer the same level of control or blending options as traditional brush painting.
  • Potential for the tip to dry out if not capped properly.
  • May require practice to achieve perfect results on very small or complex details.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. Simply uncap the marker and begin painting. Ensure the marker is used on a primed miniature surface for best adhesion and coverage.

Compatibility: This marker is designed for use on miniatures and other hobby models. It is compatible with most primers and acrylic-based paints. For best results, apply over a primed surface.

Care: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the tip from drying out. Store the marker horizontally to ensure even ink flow. Clean the tip gently with a damp cloth if it becomes clogged with pigment or debris, but avoid using solvents.
