Product Information

Full details

The Army Painter Speed Palette is designed for hobbyists of all skill levels looking for a simple, reusable, and efficient way to manage paints during miniature painting sessions. Its key benefit is the easy pop-out cleaning system, which significantly reduces cleanup time. However, it is optimized for Speedpaints and similar fluid acrylics, meaning thicker paints might not work as effectively.

FAQs

How many paints can I hold at once?

The Speed Palette features 10 individual wells, allowing you to hold up to 10 different paints or colours simultaneously.

What type of paints work best with this palette?

It is optimized for fluid acrylics like Army Painter Speedpaints, but also works well with other thin paints, inks, and washes.

How do I clean the palette?

Let the paint dry completely in the wells, then flex the silicone to pop out the dried paint. Wipe with a damp cloth if needed.

Can I use this for mixing paints?

While you can pour colours into separate wells, it is not designed for mixing large batches of paint. It is best used for holding individual colours ready for application.

Is it durable?

Yes, it is made from flexible and durable silicone, designed for repeated use.

What are the dimensions of the palette?

The palette is compact, making it ideal for small workspaces and portability. Specific dimensions are not provided, but it is designed to be easily handled.

Can I use it for oils or enamels?

This palette is primarily designed for water-based acrylics. Using oil-based or enamel paints may make cleaning more difficult and could potentially affect the silicone over time.

Troubleshooting

Paint not popping out after drying

Ensure the paint is completely dry. Try flexing the silicone more firmly. If using a particularly thick paint, gently scrape with a fingernail or a plastic tool before flexing.

Palette remains sticky after cleaning

Wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid using oily substances or harsh solvents.

Color contamination between uses

Ensure all paint is thoroughly removed and the wells are dry before adding new colours. For critical colour mixing, consider using a separate palette or cleaning more rigorously.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely fast and simple cleanup process.
  • Durable and reusable for long-term value.
  • Compact design makes it easy to store and transport.
  • Ideal for fluid acrylics and quick painting sessions.
  • Engaging design enhances the painting experience.

Cons

  • Not ideal for very thick or heavy-bodied paints.
  • May require multiple palettes for extensive colour mixing.
  • Solely designed for paint holding, not for mixing larger batches.
  • Cleaning requires paint to dry completely first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Speed Palette requires no setup. Simply remove it from its packaging and it is ready for immediate use.

Compatibility: This palette is optimized for fluid acrylics such as The Army Painter Speedpaints. It can also accommodate other thin paints, inks, and washes. It is not recommended for thick, heavy-bodied paints which may not dry cleanly or pop out easily.

Care: To clean the Speed Palette, allow any paint within the wells to dry completely. Once dry, gently flex the silicone material. The dried paint should detach and pop out of the wells. For any stubborn residue, a damp cloth can be used to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or sharp objects that could damage the silicone.
