FAQs

How do I clean the markers?

If the tip becomes clogged, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the entire marker in water.

Can I use these markers on other surfaces?

While designed for miniatures, these markers can be used on other surfaces. However, results may vary.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint dries quickly, typically within a few minutes, depending on the thickness of the coat and environmental conditions.

What kind of paint is in the markers?

The markers contain the Speedpaint 2.0 formula, featuring highly saturated Acrylic colors.

Can I mix the colors?

The set comes with pre-mixed colors. For custom shades, experiment with mixing on a palette.

What should I do if the paint gets on my clothes?

Acrylic paint can be difficult to remove once dried. Act quickly and wash the affected area with soap and water.

Troubleshooting

Marker is not dispensing paint.

Shake the marker vigorously for 30 seconds to ensure the mixing ball is working and the paint is properly mixed. Also, gently press the tip on a surface to start the paint flow.

Paint appears streaky or uneven.

Ensure the miniature surface is clean and primed. Apply a thin, even coat of paint. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.

The marker tip is damaged or worn.

Replace the marker.
