FAQs

Does this paint require a primer?

Yes, while the paint adheres well, using a primer ensures the best durability and color saturation on plastic, resin, or metal.

Can I use this paint in an airbrush?

Base paints are designed for brush application. If you wish to use it in an airbrush, you will need to thin it significantly with an airbrush thinner.

Is Khorne Red a metallic color?

No, Khorne Red is a solid, matte acrylic color without any metallic pigments.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Simply rinse your brushes thoroughly in clean, room-temperature water immediately after use to prevent paint from drying in the bristles.

What is the shelf life of the paint?

If kept sealed and stored away from heat and direct sunlight, the paint will remain usable for several years.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or patchy.

Ensure the model was primed correctly and apply a second, thin layer once the first is completely dry.

Paint is too thick for fine details.

Transfer a small amount of paint to a palette and thin it with a few drops of water until it reaches the consistency of milk.

Paint has separated in the pot.

Shake the pot vigorously for at least 30 seconds or use a mechanical paint shaker to re-mix the pigments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent pigment density for one-coat coverage
  • Works consistently over both black and white primers
  • Safe, non-toxic water-based formulation
  • Compatible with a wide range of miniature materials
  • Professional matte finish

Cons

  • Requires frequent agitation to prevent pigment settling
  • Limited to a 12ml container size
  • May require thinning with water for specific techniques
  • Must be kept sealed to prevent the paint from drying out

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your miniature is cleaned of any mold lines and primed using a compatible spray primer. To maintain the paint quality, keep the lid tightly closed when not in use to prevent the acrylic from curing inside the pot. If the paint begins to thicken, you can restore its fluidity by adding a tiny amount of high-quality acrylic medium or distilled water. Store your paints in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the chemical integrity of the pigments.
