FAQs

Can I use Wild Rider Red as a base paint?

While it can be used for base coating, it is designed for layering and will require more coats to achieve the same opacity as a dedicated Base paint.

Is this paint non-toxic?

Yes, Citadel Layer Paints are water-based acrylics and are non-toxic, making them safe for home use.

How do I thin this paint?

Use a small amount of water or a specialized acrylic medium to reach your desired consistency.

Does this paint work on metal models?

Yes, this paint adheres well to properly primed plastic, metal, and resin models.

Should I shake the pot before use?

Always shake well before opening to ensure the pigments and medium are properly mixed for a consistent finish.

Troubleshooting

The paint looks streaky when applied.

Thin the paint slightly with water and apply multiple thin coats rather than trying to achieve full color in one stroke.

The paint has become thick or clumpy inside the pot.

Add a very small amount of clean water or acrylic medium and stir thoroughly with a toothpick or paint stirrer.

The paint is pooling in the crevices of the model.

Wipe excess paint off your brush on a paper towel before touching the model, ensuring the brush is damp but not saturated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use Wild Rider Red, start by ensuring your model is primed and base-coated. Before use, shake the pot vigorously to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. Always transfer a small amount of paint to a wet palette to maintain consistency and prevent the paint from drying out during your session. After painting, rinse your brushes thoroughly in clean water and reshape the bristles. Store pots in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is snapped completely shut to prevent the acrylic from drying out. If the paint becomes too thick, add a tiny drop of water or a dedicated acrylic medium to restore its flow.
